• Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring in the Steering Wheel on 2002 Chevrolet Express 2500?

  A: The inflatable restraint steering wheel module clock spring replacement starts by switching off the sir system. Remove the steering column trim covers to free the wire harness assembly from its harness strap after extracting the 3 wire harness straps from the harness assembly. The sir steering wheel module clock spring retaining clip needs removal before you can remove the sir steering wheel module clock spring. Then remove the wave washer from the steering column upper shaft. During installation position the upper shaft block tooth at 12 o'clock while making sure all fasteners are fully engaged before torque application to protect components. Following wave washer installation onto the steering column upper shaft check that the sir steering wheel module clock spring remains properly centered as you work to avoid uncentered positioning. The installation sequence begins when you position the sir steering wheel module clock spring against the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam before sliding the pre-centered sir steering wheel module clock spring onto the steering column upper shaft. Take off the centering tab before you stretch the lower coil assembly wire until it stays straight and free of any potential shaft lock interference points. Seal the sir steering wheel module clock spring retaining ring into its proper position which runs along the upper shaft groove. The technician must place the wire harness assembly within the wire strap before strapping the wire harness strap onto the wire strap followed by wire harness straps fastened to the wire harness assembly. Reinstall steering column trim covers and activate the sir system as the final step.
