Hello,

In order to remove the steering column, first the steering wheel needs to be removed.
Keep in mind to take extra care when handling airbag module.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

I have attached the replacement steps below for your reference.
If you need any other information, please let me know.

Thank you.

Got it. If you look at diagrams, the intermediate shaft procedure starts from the number 4 diagram/attachment.
You will have to remove part of the instrument panel to have clear access.
