Security Torx bit, can't recall the size right now. Also need to screw the tilt steering **** off too.

Be careful there are a couple plastic tabs that after 20+ yrs are brittle and like to break

First you will need to remove all of the plastic covers around the steering column, to do this you need to remove the screws recessed into the bottom of the cover there will be 1 in the center and 2 towards the end of the housing, NOTE these 2 screws are T-20 Security Torx and will require a LONG bit, something that is not in most tool kits, You can get this in a kit at Harbor Freight for a cheap one and I believe is about $11.00.

Here are some of the specialty tools that I have, the 16-1 Driver was $40.00.
