How do i remove the steering column on a 89 buick lesabre

SOURCE: 1986 Buick Electra/Park Ave has

There are three bolts under everything that you see. The steering wheel comes off first,then the retainer ring has to come off(it's on the same steem that the wheel is on,there is a tool for that). There is a plate with slots in it that will come off. Pull everything else out carefuly as not to lose any screws or break any wires, and you should see the three screws in a triangle formation. Tightin them & reasemble.

There are 3 bolts inside that have backed out, this is a tough job. You have to have special tools to complete this job. You have to pull the pins on the side after disassembling to access the bolts.

SOURCE: Steering column is becoming loose on 1997 Buick Lesabre. I would like detailed instructions on removing the air bag module and steering wheel enouhg to get to where it needs to be tightened.

Yes there are four bolts halfway down col. this removal procedure may help.REMOVE OR DISCONNECT

1. Disable SIR System.
2. Two screws at back of steering wheel.
3. Position inflator module to gain access to wire connectors. Note wire routing for assembly reference.
4. Push in and rotate horn contact lead counterclockwise, and remove from the steering column horn tower.
5. Horn contact lead.
6. Retainer (CPA) from SIR wiring connector.
7. SIR wiring connector from inflater module.
8. On models so equipped, disconnect steering wheel control switch connector.
9. Inflater module. WARNING: When carrying a live inflator module, make sure bag and trim cover are pointed away from body. Never carry the Inflator module by wires or connector on underside of module. In case of an accidental deployment, bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. When placing a live inflator module on a bench or other surface, always face the bag and trim cover away from surface. Never rest a steering column on the steering wheel with inflator module face down and column vertical. This is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental deployment. Otherwise personal injury may result.

i dont think their is an adjustment under the sterring wheel. ive had mine apart to do a clockspring. the only nut under the air bag is to hold the steering wheel itself on the column, not to tighten the column itself. try looking under the dash for some studs and nuts holding the whole column itself. that should fix your problem. i dont recommend pulling the airbag and steering wheel for any reason. its very comlpicated under their and all the parts are expensive!
