Steering Wheel Removal
SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations, and the precautions
and procedures See: Steering Column/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair before doing repairs or service.
1. Do the battery terminal disconnection procedure See: Starting and Charging/Battery/Service and Repair/Procedures.
2. Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position, then remove the driver's airbag from the steering wheel See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag
Systems/Air Bag/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Driver's Airbag Replacement.
3. Disconnect the cable reel subharness connector (A).
4. Loosen the steering wheel bolt (B) three turns.
5. Install a commercially available steering wheel puller (A) on the steering wheel (B). Free the steering wheel from the steering column shaft by
turning the pressure bolt (C) of the puller.
Note these items when removing the steering wheel:
-
Do not tap on the steering wheel or the steering column shaft when removing the steering wheel.
-
If you thread the puller bolts (D) into the wheel hub more than five threads, the bolts will hit the cable reel and damage it. To prevent this,
install a pair of jam nuts five threads up on each puller bolt.
