OK, here's the deal...When you replace the isolator you'll possibly need to move the steering column back a little for working room... This would involve unbolting the column at the dash frame and the 3 bolts on the firewall..IIRC you just need a little room and you probably would'nt need to unhook any wiring from the column...
While you're right there I'd suggest getting a kit for the steering coupler {right above the isolator} it's cheap and you'd need to repack the coupler at the very least anyhow...
Here's a link to a typical kit for rebuilding the coupler...
LINK It has everything you need to replace all the worn parts in there...
And on that note : here's a breakdown showing the correct orientation of the shoes in the coupler...They go in easier the
WRONG way {sideways} than the correct way...I'm guilty of doing it myself and it's easy to get it wrong if not paying attention...
