  Q: How to replace the Air Bag Clockspring on Chevrolet Astro?

  A: To replace the inflatable restraint steering wheel module air bag clock spring, first turn off the sir, and then remove the steering column tires of the driving column trim covers. Detach the wire harness assembly from the wire harness strap while removing the three wire harness straps from the wire harness assembly and the wire harness strap from the upper tilt head assembly. Next, remove the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining clip and the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring and take out the wave washer from the steering column upper shaft. For the installation align the block tooth in alignment with the upper shaft at the 12 high point with all fasteners seated properly before you follow it with the proper torque to prevent part failure. Mount the wave washer onto the steering column upper shaft while ensuring that the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring is in the center; it may get uncentered should the steering column is fur off from the steering gear or if centering spring is pushed out-of-focus with the coil moved. In case of being uncentered, proceed with proper centerings for standard or tilt column. Set the steering wheel module air bag clock spring aligning it to the horn tower on the turn signal cancel cam and slide the pre-centered coil onto steering column upper shaft. Pull out and dispose the tab at its center, gently tug the coil assembly wire at the bottom to get rid of its bends, and make sure there are no curves on the sir coil assembly wire to forego interference with the shaft lock mechanism. Install the sir steering wheel module air bag clock spring retaining ring to ensure that it is seated in the groove on upper shaft. Plug the wire harness assembly into the wire strap, attach the wire harness strap into the wire strap, and fix the wire harness straps to the wire harness assembly. Lastly, reinstall the steering column trim covers, and turn on the sir system.
