To replace upper intermediate Steering Shaft, first deactivate the sir system. Make sure that the front wheels are straight and the Steering Column is in the lock position prior to the disconnections of the Steering Column or intermediate shaft in order to avoid incorrect alignments and sir coil assembly damage. If you take the Steering Column remove it with the upper intermediate shaft still connected, after noting the relationship between the two in order to properly place it. Then, get rid of the upper intermediate Steering Shaft to Steering Column bolt and pull off the upper intermediate Steering Shaft from the Steering Column. To install, attach upper intermediate Steering Shaft to Steering Column as referred to above during removal, and install the upper intermediate Steering Shaft to Steering Column bolt which should be tight at 48 n.m (35 lb ft). Lastly, install the Steering Column and also activate the sir system.
