    Q:
    How to repair scratched wood steering wheels on Cadillac Escalade EXT? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The first step of wood steering wheel scratch repair involves the removal of the steering wheel. Misture the wood part with wax and grease remover before applying a protective mask to the non-wood regions. Sanding through the clear coat must never be allowed. Work with 400 grit sandpaper initially before finishing with 600 grit paper. Finish cleaning the wood section by passing it through another washing cycle with wax and grease remover. The application of clear coat on the steering wheel requires strict adherence to instructions found within the 2003 GM Approved Refinish Materials Booklet, both in its English edition GM 4901 M-D-2003 and French version M-D-F2003. Finally, reinstall the steering wheel.

    How to replace the steering wheel on Chevrolet Silverado 2500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Steering Wheel replacement starts by disabling the supplemental inflatable restraint system and taking out the inflator module and horn switch. Create an alignment reference between the Steering Wheel and Steering Shaft and then loosen the Steering Wheel nut. You need a Steering Wheel puller (J 1859-A) working with either the Steering Wheel puller adapter (J 36541-A) or the Steering Wheel puller legs (J 42578) to extract the Steering Wheel. Place the initial marks from removal in position before mounting the Steering Wheel on the Steering Shaft and securing with a 40 nm (29 ft. Lbs.) torque on the Steering Wheel nut. The maintenance ends by reinstalling the horn switch and inflator module and enabling the sir system.

    How to replace the steering wheel on Chevrolet Avalanche 1500? Posted by Customer
    A:
    You must first disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system before beginning the replacement of the Steering Wheel. You need to take the inflator module along with the horn switch out of the vehicle. Report a mark on your Steering Wheel to remember its position with the Steering Shaft before you untighten the wheel nut. The Steering Wheel puller (J 1859-A) allows you to uninstall the Steering Wheel. Follow the mark alignment from removal to mount the Steering Wheel onto the Steering Shaft by screwing on the Steering Wheel nut while applying a torque of 40 n.m (29 lb ft). Reinstall the horn switch with the inflator module then activate the sir system.
