I swapped mine out a few months ago, and I actually thought it wasn't too bad. And that's coming from somebody who struggles with a lot of the stuff that other people on this board say is easy. Maybe I got lucky. I did think, while doing it, that it would be very easy to mess up the wiring because many of the connectors seem kind of fragile but take a good deal of force to remove (on an old jeep, anyway). But once I got everything hooked back up, everything worked right the first time.
I got a few pictures, posted below, but unfortunately I didn't do as good a job documenting it as I had intended. I ran short of time so I had to just finish the job.
Basically, all the wiring that goes to the steering column runs through connectors that pull apart, and no two are alike. So putting it back together is just a jigsaw puzzle. There is one connector, I recall, that has 2 or maybe 3 pieces that nest in each other and fit into one socket. Other than that, it's one for one. Two pictures below show the wires with everything connected, and one picture shows them disconnected.
The hardest part for me was figuring out how to disconnect the column. I could barely reach the bolts on the front of the column, under the brake master cylinder, where the instructions I had said to disconnect it. Then I got the idea to take out the airbox, and disconnect the column one link further down the chain, and that proved to be very easy. The first picture below shows the front of the column with the air box removed.
The pictures are very busy with all the wiring and stuff going on, but if you're in the middle of the job and have specific questions, hopefully you'll be able to find the part you have in question. Feel free to ask specific questions and I'll answer in more detail if I'm able. I also have more pictures I can look at, but I think the ones below show pretty much everything the others show. One major thing I didn't get, regretfully, was pictures of the top of the column, the part that bolts up out of sight when installed.
Pictures to follow in next post.
