5. Remove the driver side knee bolster or instrument
panel lower cover.
6. Disconnect the driver airbag, horn and connectors
from the lower steering column.
7. Remove the screws and discard them.
8. Remove the clock spring from the steering shaft.
9. Installation should follow the removal procedure in
the reverse order. Refer to ”Clock Spring Align-
ment” in this section for alignment.
Tightening torque of the clock spring screw is 3 NSm
(27 lb–in).
CAUTION : If the clock spring is not properly
aligned, the steering wheel may not be able to ro-
tate completely during a turn. Restricted turning
ability can cause the vehicle to crash. Improper
alignment of the clock spring also may make the
SIR inoperative, preventing the airbag from de-
ploying during crash. Both of the out comes can
result in injury.
CLOCK SPRING ALIGNMENT
Notice : Turning the clock spring more than three turns
clockwise or counterclockwise can damage the spring.
1. Turn the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Turn the lobe of clock spring clockwise to lock (Do
not force).
3. Then turn the lobe of clock spring counterclockwise
approximately three turns to the neutral position,
with the front of the wheels straight ahead.
4. Properly align the pointed marks on the compo-
nents of the clock spring.
