Old into the negative terminal end first detach the cable leaving it there for 90 seconds to deactivate Air Bags. Start by facing the front wheels in a straight direction before removing the steering pad and steering wheel assembly and steering column cover using the 3 screws located on the lower cover. Use caution when disconnecting the connectors joining the clock spring because the Air Bag wire harness is prone to damage. Users should detach the 3 claws to take out the clock spring.

The installation requires use of 3 claws to fit the clock spring correctly and removal of the lock pin for changes.

Adjust the clock spring after unplugging the car battery and switching off the ignition switch and waiting at least 90 seconds until starting the adjustment. Use counterclockwise rotation on the clock spring until it becomes secure and then perform clockwise turns up to 2.5 rotations to match the marks but keep away from the Air Bag harness. To complete the installation you must reinstall the steering wheel assembly followed by the steering pad and reconnect the negative battery terminal then check the steering pad before performing system initialization according to requirements before inspecting the SRS warning light.
