clamp at toe pan, and loosen support to clamp
bolts.
b. Remove steering column lower cover.
c. Loosen bolts securing steering column upper
cradle to steering column support, and loosen bolt
securing upper clamp to cradle.
d. Turn steering wheel slowly several times to
center the column and correctly position the flex-
ible coupling.
