GM 25870022 Steering Wheel Assembly *Ebony

Pull the vehicle into a straight position and remove the negative cable from the battery. Disable the airbag system. To remove the airbag module while the steering wheel sits at 3 o'clock, use a blunt rounded tool to press both sides of the retaining clip on each side of the wheel until the airbag post detaches. To access the steering wheel's electrical connectors, you need to gently pull the airbag module away from its place near the wheel. Put aside the nut that holds the steering wheel onto the shaft, and note how they match up. With two clamped claw ends, insert the steering wheel puller into its correct holes before pulling out the steering wheel. Make sure the puller's screw tightens against the steering wheel bolt or shaft. Disconnect all loose electrical cables. Undo the puller, pull up the steering wheel, and push the wiring adapter forward through the wheel's hole. To take off the clockspring, start by removing the steering column covers. Then disconnect the clockspring's electric wires. Push the multi-function clockspring free from the steering column by spreading the retaining tab, sliding it out. Put the clockspring in place properly by placing it in the center so the direction markings line up on the clockspring surface. Before reattaching the yellow lock if available, turn the steering shaft hub clockwise until it stops, counterclockwise to see how many turns it took, then turn the hub back clockwise half that number of turns. When done, either reinstall the yellow lock or secure it with tape to keep the clockspring from moving. You reinstall the clockspring in the same way you took it out: first center it, put the steering wheel on, attach the wheel nut correctly tight, slide the airbag onto the wheel where it clicks in place, and turn the airbag system back on.
