I recently had to replace mine. Although dis-assembly is pretty straight forward, removing the shear bolts can be difficult on a 17 year old car. The 2 holding the housing to the column are heat treated or case hardened. You will need cobalt drill bits to get through them. I suggest having more than 1 because they will dull pretty fast. The 2 shear bolts holding the case together are only a little bit easier.
I also recommend replacing everything at once since the parts wear together. You will only want to do this once. |
