Removing
1. Remove the steering wheel.
2. Move the column to the lower position and lock with a key.
3. Loosen the screw and remove the speaker control lever knob (see photo).
4. Remove plugs, turn away screws and remove the top casing of a steering column (see photos).
5. Turn away 2 top and one lower screw and remove the lower casing of a steering column (see photo).
6. Pry and disconnect a socket of the module of a pillow of safety.
7. Remove the brackets and remove the contact device from the steering column.
Attention! On later models, a lock of the contact device is provided, which ensures the fixation of the symmetrical position of the device. It is forbidden to unlock the lock after removing the contact device.
8. Remove the direction indicator and wiper switches from the column casing (Chapter 12).
9. Remove the ignition key, pry up and remove the round trim.
10. Insert and turn the ignition key to the ACC position, press the lock plunger with a screwdriver and remove the ignition switch from the steering column cover (see photo).
11. On parts of cars, remove the immobilizer unit by doing the following. Disconnect from the block of a wire, wring out latches and get the block from the case of the switch of ignition. Remove the lock drum switch. On some cars, the design of the immobilizer mount is somewhat different. On these models, remove the column lock drum (Chapter 12). bend the latches and remove the block from the ignition switch housing, remove the cuff and disconnect the wire.
12. Remove column spring cover and tension spring (see photos).
13. Disconnect the wiring from the steering column, removing it from the brackets, remove the panel in the footwell on the driver's side and the heater air duct.
14. Designate the relative position of the column shaft and the upper cardan joint and unscrew the hinge clamp bolt. Remove the lower part of the column shaft from the hinge slots (keep in mind that the intermediate shaft has a telescopic design).
15. On models equipped with an ESP system (electronic stabilization system) Disconnect the steering angle sensor wire connector from the steering column. Release the latches, remove the sensor and slide it down the column.
16. Turn away a bolt of the bottom collar and a bolt of the top fastening of a column (see photo). On parts of the car, take the latch. On ESP-equipped models, lift the dispenser up and remove the sensor from the dispenser through the bottom of the dispenser.
17. Remove the column, paying attention to the number and location of the gasket package under the column lower clamp bracket.
Installation
18. Establish the lower collar of a column, release bolts of the lower collar. Install the column in the collar. On ESP models, fit the steering angle sensor ring onto the column, aligning the tooth on the sensor with the groove on the column.
19. On models since 2000, wrap the upper column mounting bolts and tighten them to the specified torque.
20. On some models up to and including 1999, install the gasket packs in place under the lower clamp bracket and tighten the clamp bolts and the upper column mount to the specified torque.
21. On pre-1999 models that did not have shim packs, install a 4.0mm thick shim pack (4 gaskets 1.0 mm each, purchased at a car service) under the lower clamp bracket, tighten the clamp bolt to the specified torque. Then try to move the bottom of the column up - while the gray guide sleeve at the bottom of the column should remain stationary. Otherwise, by removing 1 gasket at a time, achieve the immobility of the sleeve. When finished, tighten the top column mounting bolts to the specified torque.
22. Further assembly is carried out in the reverse order.
