Steering Column Repair: steering speed sensor, model trucks, wheel speed

Question
how far do i have to tear the column down to get this out looks simple but want to know what you have to disconnect thank you  

Answer
Hello Jim,
The steering speed sensor is usually located on the steering rack. Certain GM model trucks and vans have them on top of the column under the dash. It calculates vehicle speed for steering reaction with a variable orafice with pulses from the steering wheel speed sensor. Most are attached with either a screw or tabs molded into the sensor. Usually they have 2 or 3 wires and you need only to disconnect the harness to remove and replace.
Hope that helps.
Have a great day!
