1.  Remove the steering shaft cover. (See STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L.H.D.].) (See STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [R.H.D.].)

2.  Disconnect the steering shaft from the steering gear and linkage. (See STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L.H.D.].) (See STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [R.H.D.].) (See STEERING GEAR AND LINKAGE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Caution

•  The EPS will not operate properly if the installation is performed with the steering shaft rotated 360 degrees by mistake. After detaching the intermediate shaft, secure the steering shaft to prevent it from rotating until the intermediate shaft is installed to the steering gear and linkage.

•  Secure the steering wheel using tape or a cable to prevent the steering shaft from rotating after disconnecting the steering shaft. If the steering wheel rotates after the steering shaft and the steering gear and linkage are disconnected, the internal parts of the clock spring could be damaged.

3.  Remove the front crossmember component. (See FRONT CROSSMEMBER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

4.  Remove in the order indicated in the table.
