    First of all disconnect the battery for two minutes before starting the work so you don't accidentally set of the air bag. Then lock the wheel straight.The steering col-um does not need to be removed there are some connections under the dash and on the motor that need to be disconnected then remove the three bolts retaining the motor to the steering shaft. then remove the motor. Best I can tell you. Just take your time.
