Park the vehicle with the front wheels pointed straight ahead and the steering wheel centered. Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Disable the airbag system. Pry out the two small covers, one on each side of the steering wheel, and unscrew the two fasteners that retain the airbag module. Lift the airbag module off the steering wheel and disconnect the airbag electrical connectors. Remove the steering wheel retaining bolt and discard it. Mark the position of the steering wheel to the shaft. Unplug the electrical connector in the center of the clockspring terminal. Lift the steering wheel off the shaft while guiding the airbag module electrical connectors through the steering wheel hub. Tape the clockspring in the centered position to keep it from moving while the steering wheel is off. Make sure the clockspring is centered. If it's necessary to remove the clockspring from the steering column, apply two pieces of tape across the hub of the clockspring to the housing to prevent it from rotating. Remove the steering column covers. Disconnect the electrical connector from the bottom of the clockspring, unscrew the mounting fasteners and then remove it. Reverse the removal procedure to install the clockspring and be sure it's centered. To install the steering wheel, align the mark on the hub with the mark on the shaft and slide the wheel onto the shaft. Install a new bolt and tighten it to the specified torque. Installation is otherwise the reverse of removal. Be sure the electrical connectors are securely connected to the airbag module and tighten the airbag module mounting fasteners to the specified torque.
