• Q: How to replace the steering wheel on 2004 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: The first step for replacing the Steering Wheel starts with securing front wheels in their straight position followed by disabling the sir system. The access hole in the lower Steering Column trim allows you to place the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) to lock the Steering Column. First mark the relationship of the Steering Wheel to the Steering Shaft by placing an alignment mark before you remove the inflator module. Start by removing the Steering Wheel nut followed by gentle lifting of the Steering Wheel from the Steering Column. Set the front wheels directly in front while installing the replacement Steering Wheel. Align your replacement Steering Wheel at the 12 o'clock position facing the arrow so the tooth alignment remains proper. For the replacement of the initial Steering Wheel align it by using the reference points established during uninstallation. Put the Steering Wheel over the Steering Shaft before bolting the Steering Wheel nut into place at 35 nm (26 ft. Lbs.). The last step includes unlocking the Steering Column by taking away the Steering Column anti-rotation pin (J 42640) through the lower trim cover access hole followed by reinstallation of the inflator module and sir system activation.
