WARNING: Be sure the wheels are facing
straight forward and lock down the steering wheel
to ensure that it does not move. Failure to do
this may result in damage to or malfunction of the
airbag deployment system. Do not attempt to
move the steering wheel until the bolt connecting
the steering column to the rack gear, which will
be removed in the following step, has been
reinstalled.
79. Remove the front wheels of the vehicle.
80. Using an 11mm socket, extension, and
ratchet, remove the bolt securing the steering
column to the rack gear and pull the intermediate
shaft off of the gear.
81. Using a 6mm Allen tool, hold the tie rod
ball stud stationary while using an 18mm wrench
to loosen and remove the nut.
NOTE: As specified by GM, these nuts are
designed for one time use only and must be
replaced during re-installation.
82. After removing the nut in the last step, use
a GM ball joint separator (PN: J42188) to remove
the steering knuckle from the tie rod ball stud.
The steering knuckle is denoted by the yellow
arrow. Repeat this process on the other side of
the vehicle.
