REMOVAL of OEM Column:
Disconnect positive battery cable.
To remove your old col-
umn, disconnect the
wiring that may be con-
nected to the column.
Remove the Floor
Mount and Underdash
Mount that holds the
column in place. Next
cut the column
from the engine bay 5 1/2” up from the gearbox.
Pull what’s left of the original column through the
cab of the truck and eliminate it. The column tube
then needs to be fully removed from the stock
steering box. We recommend unbolting the three
bolts that hold the box and then placing it on a
work bench for easier access. Remove the old
column tube by pulling it out of the steering box.
You may need to use a torch and pipe wrench to
twist the tube out of the original steering box.
