  Q: How to remove and refit the steering column on Toyota Echo?

  A:

Subsequently, extract the steering-wheel mounted airbag from and shifting the driver's seat to as far back as possible for enhanced visibility. Pop out three screws at the front, two from the lower front part of the shroud, and the last one from under it and send the shroud down. Following that, two more screws of the front part of the lower shroud should be released further tipping the upper shroud out with paying attention to the central clip that has to be put into the correct position for additional fixing. go further and take off the airbag clockspring and the switches of the steering column, also, in case the car has an automatic transmission, cut the connection between the shift lock cable and the switch of the ignition. The lower end of the steering column is accessible at the footwell of the driver's seat, where trim panel is then disengageable for the release of clips. Temporarily align the universal joint and the steering gear pinion; flatten the bolts, and remove them to remove the steering column. Remove the screws that connect the two wiring connectors to the ignition switch and identify where they go that way and out the column mounting bolt and two bolts above it. Last but not least, it is necessary to free the column from the upper support and, having so done, slowly pull it out of the car. For offloading, reverse the following components; First fix edges need to be tightened to the recommended torque; Driver side air bag; Clock spring.
