To remove the steering wheel, first disconnect the negative cable from the battery, and if equipped with an airbag, also disconnect the positive terminal. For non-airbag systems, remove the screws securing the horn pad to the steering wheel, partially pull the horn pad away, unplug the electrical connector, and then remove the horn pad. For models with airbags, pry out the plugs covering the airbag module screws, remove the screws, lift off the airbag, and detach the electrical connector, ensuring to store the airbag safely with the trim-side facing up. Next, remove the steering wheel bolt and disconnect any electrical connectors for cruise control or audio switches if applicable. If equipped, lift off the damper. Look for factory alignment marks on the steering wheel and column; if not visible, create your own for alignment during installation. Use a puller to remove the steering wheel, ensuring not to strike the wheel or hammer on the shaft, and discard the original steering wheel bolt. For installation, ensure the horn spring is in position, align the marks on the steering wheel hub and shaft, and slip the wheel onto the shaft. Install a new mounting bolt and tighten it to the specified torque. The remainder of the installation follows the reverse order of removal, taking care to avoid pinching the airbag wiring and ensuring proper alignment of the airbag sliding contact before installing the steering wheel, with the manufacturer recommending the use of a new steering wheel bolt.
