1998 Chevy C/K Pickup Steering Column Removal Procedure - Dash Disassembly Steps

This document is a page from a service and repair procedure, apparently covering removal steps preparatory to accessing or removing components behind the instrument panel and steering column area (culminating in removal of the steering column). It lists 19 numbered steps beginning with disconnecting the negative battery cable(s) and disabling the SIR (airbag) system, followed by removing the relay center bolts, bulkhead connector, and associated harnesses (cruise control, forward lamp, SIR system) and the relay center itself. Subsequent steps cover removing the coolant reservoir, disconnecting the antenna lead-in and grommet, removing the knee bolster, steering shaft pinch bolt, sill plate front screws, hinge pillar trim panels, and the brake release handle from its cable (with a note that a clip releases the handle). Final visible steps include removing the reaction plate assembly, tie bar, knee deflector bracket, disconnecting the 8-way column connector and the 48-way connector retainer (to access the two lower column nuts), disconnecting the automatic transmission shift cable, and removing the steering column from the vehicle. Cross-references are provided to related procedures for airbag arming/disarming, coolant reservoir, and knee diverter service. The page appears to be one of a multi-page set; the text is cut off after step 19.
