"Hi, my name is Mark Blocker on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment we are going to cover removing the steering wheel column cover. First, thing that we want to do is move your seat back as far as you can. Get as much space as possible. This vehicle is equip with a tilt steering column which allows us to move the steering column up or down to get a little bit more accessibility. At this time I'm going to move it all the way up that gives me more room to get underneath. The access cover removal are right here behind the steering wheel. We need to remove those to get access to a turn signal switch. They are held in by 4 or 5 screws on the bottom that we have to remove. With a Philip screwdriver, I would just remove the screws. Please watch our next segment on removing the steering column cover part 2."
