In order to replace the inflatable restraint air bag clock spring, disable the sir system. Make sure that the wheels of the vehicle are pointing straight forward and the
Steering Column is in the lock position, before removing the Steering Column or intermediate shaft from the steering gear to protect from sir coil assembly damages. Apply the Steering Column anti rotation pin (J 42640) to fix the Steering Column. Pull the
Steering Wheel off the Steering Column after removing the Steering Wheel from the
Steering Shaft and also after removing the Steering Column trim covers and wires harness straps from the Steering Wheel column wire harness. Next, take off the retaining ring and the sir coil off of the Steering Shaft; throwing the old coil out if one is replacing it. During the installation of the new sir coil assembly, ensure that it is centrally located and do not remove the centering tab until the installation is done. Mount the sir coil assembly against the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam assembly and slide the sir coil onto the Steering Shaft assembly and ensure that the retaining ring is seated and locked in the groove in the Steering Shaft assembly. Take off the centering tab from the new sir coil and reinstall the Steering Column trim covers and Steering Wheel, and you can then enable the sir system.
