Loosen the bolt on the knuckle that holds the spline end of the shaft. You will need to pry it open a little to remove the shaft. The knuckle shouldn't twist but remember the position before you do anything just in case. The spline end will have a flat area, remember its position for when you install the steering column.
Go inside the car and remove the 4 bolts that hold the steering column in place. You should be able to remove the steering column. Or at least slide it out far enough to remove the old bushing. Clean the area, apply included grease to new bushing and slide on steering column. Slide steering column back into firewall making sure steering wheel is in the same position.
It helps to have someone assisting at this point. One to guide the spline end onto the knuckle and the other person to push the steering column. Put the 4 bolts back, tighten everything up and you are ready for a test drive.
