2008 GMC Canyon Steering Wheel Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the steering wheel on 2008 GMC Canyon?

  A: Begin by aligning the front wheels directly to the front before starting replacement work. Drive the pin of the Steering Column anti-rotation (J 42640) through the access hole in the lower Steering Column trim cover to lock the Steering Column. Take out the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module. Create reference points on the Steering Wheel to show its connection to the Steering Shaft. Twist the Steering Wheel nut two full turns before gently pulling the Steering Wheel from the Steering Column. Draw the electrical connectors (1,3) through the space without harm before you extract the Steering Wheel nut to remove the Steering Wheel. When installing the front wheels must point straight ahead before attaching them. The new Steering Wheel should be set by the Steering Shaft with the arrow pointing at 12 o'clock and proper teeth alignment must be maintained. When installing the original Steering Wheel it should match the reference points noted during uninstallation while avoiding any pinching of electrical connectors (1,3). Insert the new Steering Wheel nut into position then torque it to 35 n.m (26 lb ft). Conclude by mounting the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module and taking out the anti-rotation pin (J 42640).
