REMOVE STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY
Using a center punch, mark the center of the 2 tapered-head bolts.
Using a 3 to 4 mm (0.118 to 0.157 in.) diameter drill bit, drill a hole in each tapered-head bolt.
for Manual Tilt and Manual Telescopic Steering Column:
Secure the steering column assembly in a vise using aluminum plates.
Note
Do not overtighten the vise.
Using a screw extractor, remove each tapered-head bolt, and then remove the steering lock actuator assembly from the steering column assembly.
for Power Tilt and Power Telescopic Steering Column:
Using a screw extractor, remove each tapered-head bolt, and then remove the steering lock actuator assembly from the steering column assembly.
