Domi, no need to remove steering wheel, undo the steering adjustment (up/down, in out).
And then push the shaft from the trunk area inside the firewall (towards rear of the car). When it goes true the wall, you can push the collum up or down, this gives you room to replace the bushing. Don't cut the bushing, no need for it.
Then slide the shaft back true the new bushing. Make sure the shaft slides easy in and out of the collum, lubricate well, also lube the new bushing. I used the bushing from the club, the blue one. Drop it in hot water before instalation.
Good luck.
