DARKSIDE Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Anyone, know where I can find the instructions on how to replace a steering wheel. Also, how can I turn the steering w/ the engine not running. Reason for me asking, is because there are two screws at the back of the wheel that need to be taken out, but I heard that the battery should be disconnected while doing the install, to avoid the SRS light coming on. Any info would help, thanks guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try locking the column when the key is out, then turn the key until it unlocks. You kinda have to man handle it since there's no power steering and you're not moving.

DARKSIDE Posted October 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Let me make sure, I got what ur saying...If I turn the key to pos. 1 or 2 (as long as it's not 3 which turns the car on) the wheel WILL be able to turn...I just have to turn it HARD because the pwr steering isn't on...*thanks anitanium for the link w/ the dash removal. I did search, but not for dash or dash removal, because the wheel can come off w/o removing any part the dash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
