    Is this an airbag car?

    I have a non-airbag column I can sell you, if needed.
    Yes it's an airbag car. From what I read, the airbag columns are easier to replace. Thanks for your input. Will do this when I have some time. How do you undo the knuckle?

    Steering Column Removal

    I've searched and searched and searched. Nothing definitive. I need to replace the column because the splines on the column are stripped as well as the splines on my steering wheel. I got a new wheel which has perfect splines, and it doesn't want to mate with the stripped spline (obviously.) I need to go to the yard and get a new column. I looked up on realoem and got this diagram, however, I do not know how to remove it. Please help me out guys as I need to get this done for my interior swap.

Working...
