Steering Wheel replacement begins by disabling sir followed by removing the inflator module from the Steering Wheel. You must first free the horn plunger from its position on the Steering Column by pinching it inward to its stopping point before rotating it 90 degrees. Before continuing you must take off the Steering Wheel retaining nut. The original j 1859-a (J 1859-A) Steering Wheel puller must be used for Steering Column protection during the replacement procedure. The j 1859-a (J 1859-A) puller attaches to the Steering Wheel for correct removal through the puller method. After wheel removal proceed by mounting the new Steering Wheel on the Steering Shaft while following directions in the fastener notice. You should secure the Steering Wheel using the retaining nut while tightening it to 41 nm (30 ft. Lbs.). Reinstall both the horn plunger and Steering Wheel inflator module before activating the sir system.

To service and repair the steering wheel and column with tilt gather the necessary tools including:. Steering Wheel Puller (J1859-A). Start by removing the inflatable restraint steering wheel module. Mark the position of the steering wheel to the column and then remove the steering wheel along with the nut. Use the Steering Wheel Puller (J1859-A) in order to remove the steering wheel from the column. When installing, line up the relationship marked references and install the steering wheel into the column. Next, to installation of the steering wheel nut, and tighten it to 41 Nm (30 ft. lbs.). Lastly, re-install the inflatable restraint steering wheel module.

To service or repair steering wheel and column, first turn off the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) if it is available. There's the removal of the inflator module and horn pad assembly if the vehicle does not have sir. Next, remove the horn switch. Put an alignment mark to mark the relationship of the steering wheel to the Steering Shaft, then take out the steering wheel nut. Use the steering wheel puller (J 1859-A) to pull over the steering wheel. To install, align the markings made on removal on the Steering Shaft to the steering wheel, and then put the steering wheel on the Steering Shaft. Mount the wheel nut and tighten it using a 40 nm (30 ft. Lbs) torque wrench. Reinstall horn switch and horn pad assembly if not sir equipped, the inflator module. Lastly, if equipped, turn on the sir system.

For servicing and repairing the Steering Wheel, start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable and also disabling the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system. Now, take out the inflator module and horn switch. Use an alignment mark to record the position of the Steering Wheel relative to Steering Shaft, and after that exclude the Steering Wheel nut. Start by using the j 1859-a Steering Wheel puller (J 1859-A) part to remove the Steering Wheel. For installation, align marks made in removal on Steering Shaft and Steering Wheel and install the Steering Wheel onto the Steering Shaft. Mount the Steering Wheel nut and tighten it to 40 nm (29 ft. Lbs). Install the horn switch and the inflator module, and re-enable the sir system, and reconnect the negative Battery Cable. Lastly, determine the idle learn procedure for 4.8l, 5.3l, and 6.0l engines only.

The next step in servicing and fixing the steering wheel and column is to take out the inflatable restraint steering wheel module based on the use of the J1859-A, Steering Wheel Puller. Mark the wheel steering position to the column before removing the steering wheel and the nut. After that, use the J1859-A (Steering Wheel Puller) to separate the steering wheel from the column. For installation, line up the designated relationship references and install the steering wheel onto the column then install the steering wheel nut , that should be tightened to 41 Nm (30 ft. lbs). Finally, replace the inflatable restraint steering wheel module.

Disable the supplemental inflatable restraint (SIR) system if equipped.
