The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position before beginning the procedure, with the key removed. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Disable the airbag system. Remove the small bolt covers from the steering wheel, then remove the airbag module mounting bolts. The airbag module mounting bolts are located on each side of the steering wheel. Carefully lift the airbag module, then disconnect the electrical connectors underneath. Pull the small locks on the airbag module electrical connectors up to release them. The airbag connectors are secured by small locks. Remove the airbag module from the steering wheel. Remove the steering wheel mounting nut, then mark the relationship of the steering wheel hub to the steering shaft if marks don't already exist. Index marks on the steering shaft and steering wheel hub. Make sure all electrical connectors are disconnected; some models may have steering wheel-mounted switches. Wiggle the steering wheel while pulling on it with moderate force to remove it from the steering shaft. If it's necessary to remove the airbag clockspring, remove the steering column covers. Disengage the clockspring retaining fingers while detaching it from the steering column, then follow the wiring harnesses and disconnect the electrical connectors. Installation is the reverse of removal, noting the following points: Make sure the airbag clockspring is centered with the locating pin at the 12 o'clock position. If necessary, turn the clockspring all the way clockwise until it stops (don't apply too much force), then turn it counterclockwise approximately 2-1/2 turns until the locating pin is at the top. When installing the steering wheel, align the marks on the shaft and the steering wheel hub. Install the steering wheel mounting nut and lighten it. Connect any electrical connectors to the steering wheel. Connect the two airbag connectors and push in their locking tabs, then install the airbag module onto the steering wheel. Enable the airbag system.
