First disconnect the cables from all negative battery terminals, then remove the two screws holding the airbag module, and lift it off. Begin by detaching the wiring for both airbag and horn, then unscrew the bolt holding the steering wheel. Note how the steering wheel connects to the shaft, and disconnect every electrical plug from its place on the wheel. Take off the steering wheel with a two-jaw puller, being careful not to hit it hard so you don't damage the column bearings. Use two tapes to stick down the clock spring in the right position to stop it turning when not in use. Align the steering wheel correctly before installation: push the end of the steering shaft into the clockspring from the 9 o'clock position and thread the clockspring's electrical wire into the 3 o'clock spot. Twist the hub clockwise to the end, then counterclockwise twice more, all 2.25 full turns, to center the clockspring. Take out the steering wheel, tilt-wheel arm, bottom steering column panel, ignition cylinder lock part, and top steering column cover before installation. Secure the service lock on the clockspring, unplug the warning switch, take off the clockspring's electrical connection, push out retaining clips, pull wiring away from clips, and lift the clockspring out of its steering column position. Follow these steps: insert the clockspring onto the steering column with the connector pointed at 3 o'clock, use your finger to push back the two plastic retaining clips, put the electrical connectors into their places. To fit the wheel, position the marks on the steering wheel and shaft properly, add a fresh bolt, and tighten it until it meets the spec. If your vehicle has an airbag and cruise control, plug in both connectors, attach the airbag electrical cable, put the airbag in place, and fasten its connector bolts securely.
