Getting things done


Now that you have the colmn outside, you can start disassembling.
First of all remove three phillips screws from the clock spring. Then remove four screws from body of the column. Don't forget to remove the brass clip from back site. Then you can carefuly unhook 4 plastic clips from top and bottom and separate the colmn into two pieces.

If everything went well, you should have back piece with both levers still inside

Then you can remove the levers and check the tips for wear. It is also a good idea to clean every contact surface you see with contact cleaner or alcohol and q-tip.
Since you can not buy just this tip you have a few options what to do:

  1. just swap the two tips, since wipers should hold fine like this
  2. sharpen the worn tip (and swap it)
  3. get second column and use the good tip from it

You can also stretch the springs that push those tips

Now just grease everything with a fresh grease and put it back together. Watch out for a light selector rod - it has to go between two plastic pieces, or you won't be able to turn on the lights. Then just snap everything back together, test if everything works and put it back into a car.

You can also fit a cruise control lever if you want.
