Hey guys.

So. Question. How in the name of all hell do you remove the top steering shroud from a '97 Blazer?! Does it involve removing the lock cylinder as well? And if so, how does one do that?

Everything I'm finding is for 98+, which has a different style of shroud where the top and bottom mate around the lock cylinder.

But the 97 I have, has the top shroud go AROUND the lock cylinder, as seen here (Mine is slightly broken in a desperation move):



Any help I can get is appreciated.

Thanks.

 

On the right hand side there is a small external tor screw I think it's an E4

Look from the bottom and it will be plain as day

 

I saw two E4 screws, but both held the ignition switch in place so far as I can tell. Couldn't see one that held the cylinder or shroud in place.

Again, this is for a 1997. NOT a 1998+.

 

If you are trying to remove the lock cylinder, on my 2002 you just need the bottom half off to get to the release hole to release the cylinder. Mine had the little bolts that released the top half of the shroud. Hope this helps a little.
