Remove the retaining screws using a Phillips head screwdriver to take off the steering column cover. Next, take out the knee protector. For tilt steering columns, use a small wrench to unscrew the tilt lever. Then, remove the ignition lock cylinder. After that, eliminate any remaining screws, separate the halves, and take off the covers by detaching the lower column cover and lifting the upper column cover up over the shift lever. Installation follows the reverse order of removal.
