how to pull the wheel?

Take off the center cap on the steering wheel.

Loosen the nut in the middle of the wheel.

Go to autozone and get a wheel puller

Strap the puller around the wheel and center the puller over the bolt where you took the nut off

And tighten the puller with a wrench tell it pops off.

Thanks for the response. I found a steering wheel puller buried at the shop, but had no snap ring remover so i had a bud push while i wedged the ring out. Wasn't as bad as thought.

Again, thanks for the quick response

WORD!

I can post some pictures after i get home from work around 6pm or so. I have some showing it taken apart that might help. If you have all the tools it can be done in a day. Mine took two because i didn't have everything and had to make a stop by the store.

Are you replacing the switch or the cylinder assembly?

The Cylinder assembly..........

The job wasn't too bad.


Unfortunatly, i pulled the horn's spring loaded ground clip to hard when i took the cover off & broke the plastic notch. Now, no horn. I have another parts s-10 I can take it from there. But that is 2 steering wheels & pressure plates to remove just to have a horn.

anyone know any quick fixes? I guess i could cut another notch w/ a hot knife..........


I also took pics if anyone would care to see.

Lol,i did the same thing with the horn. I also didn't get my hi-beams hooked up so now when i pull back it won't click and go on the hi-beams.

Kiko,your rod is out of the end on the high beam switch under the dash.

Meaning what? That i don't need to take off my steering wheel again? The only reason i haven't fixed it is because i don't want to pull the steering wheel again. It would be nice to have brights though. I've needed them a couple times already.

[jtcfanof3]

Ya,you should be able to get the rod back into the switch w/o pulling things apart,its got enough free play that it should slip back in,I did once after pulling things apart then realizing I didnt have it back in after buttoning things up.

What is that anyway? A spring to make the highs click on? The handle for wipers,CC, & blinker all work fine......but the high beams never worked ever since i got It. Would love to hear a quick fix!

Ya,there is a rod that runs along the side of the column that goes into a push button switch,most likelly its out of position.
