US TR Steering Adjustment Lever Replacement / Knee Bolster Removal

Hi Folks,

I had to replace my steering wheel adjustment lever this weekend (the handle of the original had been snapped off sometime in the past). In a US car, this requires removing the knee bolster, and to do that you have to partially remove/move the central tunnel/gauge cluster. I also had to figure out how to remove the driver's seat as my spine can only twist so much. It was a very educational weekend for me!

With searches of these forms I found parts of how to do this (but not the whole thing) so I just thought I'd try to document most of the whole process in case anyone else ever has to go through this, just to give something back. PDF with pics is attached, documenting how to:
- Remove driver's seat
- Partially remove central tunnel
- Remove knee bolster
- Replace steering wheel adjustment lever

I welcome any feedback if I made any mistakes or if there are any suggestions.

Cheers,
-t
