Removal Procedure


1. Position the vehicle on a lift. and remove the key. The wheels should be in the straight-ahead position and the steering wheel should be locked in a straight ahead position.

2. Loosen bolt (1) retaining steering shaft to steering gear.


3. Detach the steering shaft from the steering gear.

4. Open the coolant expansion tank cap to release pressure.

Warning

With a pressurized cooling system, the coolant temperature in the radiator can be considerably higher than the boiling point of the solution at atmospheric pressure. Removal of the surge tank cap, while the cooling system is hot and under high pressure, causes the solution to boil instantaneously with explosive force. This will cause the solution to spew out over the engine, the fenders, and the person removing the cap. Serious bodily injury may result.
