  Q: How to Service and Repair the Air Bag Clockspring Assembly on GMC C2500?

  A:

  First service air bag clock spring assembly demands disabling the sir system followed by Steering Wheel removal along with tilt lever (if present) and upper and lower steering column trim covers. Start by taking out the multi-function lever then push the wire harness assembly from its holder in the wire harness strap before removing all three wire harness straps along with the wire harness strap from the upper tilt head assembly. Next remove the clock spring retaining clip and clock spring because they both require removal of the wave washer. Secure all fasteners before torque application to stop component harm. After lining up the block tooth on the race and upper shaft assembly to face the 12 o'clock position of the air bag clock spring maintain precise centering before installing the wave washer. An un-centered state of the clock spring occurs when a separation occurs between the steering column and steering gear or when the centering spring presses down as technicians remove the clock spring. Set the pre-centered clock spring into position and dispose of the centering tab while using the horn tower to align with canceling cam assembly inner ring projections on the outer ring. Closely pull the lower clock spring wire while inspecting it for all kinks to guarantee clear paths for the shaft lock mechanism. Set the clock spring retaining ring inside the upper shaft assembly groove then position the wire harness assembly through the wire strap before mounting the wire harness strap to the upper tilt head assembly. Enable sir system only after you reassemble all components including 3 wire harness straps and multi-function switch lever and upper and lower steering column trim covers and tilt lever (if equipped) and Steering Wheel assembly.
