INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
Use all vehicle manufacturers recommended procedures for removal and installation.
Failure to follow vehicle manufacturer's instructions could result in severe personal injury
or property damage. Always wear eye protection while using tools. Do not modify any
component of this kit. Never service a vehicle while engine is running unless otherwise
instructed.
DO NOT USE WITH POWER TOOLS OF ANY KIND.
To remove steering wheel:
Following manufactures instructions disarm airbags, disconnect positive battery cable,
remove steering wheel cover and horn ring as necessary to expose retaining nut. Loosen the
wheel-retaining nut, but do not remove. Select bolts that fit threaded holes in steering wheel
or use puller legs included for use with non-threaded steering wheels. Position puller and bolts
and thread both bolts into the steering wheel equally. Tighten center bolt of puller until
steering wheel is free. Remove tool, retaining nut and steering wheel.
The Puller Leg package will work on many General Motors cars introduced since 1993.
These should be used when there are no threaded holes provided on the steering wheel.
Slots will be present for use with puller. Holes in steering wheel may contain 'flash'
material from the manufacturing process, which may require minor filing or cleaning in order
to allow correct fit of puller leg.
Use the bushing under the center screw for the following applications:
1997 and newer Ford Explorer, Ranger and Pickups.
1999 and newer Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chryslers
The Steering Wheel Lock-Plate Depressor (PRT3059-C) will push the lock plate down and
allow for the removal of the retaining ring at the base of the lock plate. With your hand,
screw either the Metric (zinc) or SAE (black) threaded collar onto center steering wheel
column until firmly attached. The hex screw supplied with and stored on the side of the unit
will lock down telescoping steering columns while removing lock plate. Place lock plate yoke
over threaded collar and install nut onto collar until finger tight. Slowly turn nut on the collar
while holding the center screw. Reverse procedure to install.
