With the telescopic steering wheel I do not look forward to pulling the sensor off... folks on here have stated that the telescopic can be a hassle to deal with.

thanks for help -

A front wheel alighnment is when they will get the wheel straight. Make sure they get it straight.

You can try and do the sensor replacement, but follow the procedure carefully. Many people have made things worse while attempting the repair. The new sensor is clocked to a certain position. Having the wheel cocked or removing the retaining clip on the sensor at the wrong time can make the R&R a failure.
