How do you fix a steering wheel in a 1989 Chevy Pickup?

It depends on what's wrong with the steering wheel. I don't know if your Pickup has air bags, but if it does, don't even attempt to fix it yourself. Take it to someone who is trained in handling airbags. They can be dangerous and expensive if handled improperly! First, disconnect the horn, otherwise you'll be listening to a lot of honking while you do this. If you just want to remove the steering wheel, remove the horn assembly, depending on the type of steering wheel, it will either pull straight out or you may need to get behind and remove some screws. Once the horn button is removed, pull the large center nut in the middle of the horn. Then rent, borrow or buy a steering wheel puller and pull the steering wheel off the spline.

Why power steering is used?

From what I understand, power steering in cars (vehicles) is simply to make steering the car easier. If it were not for power steering, you would have to use a lot more muscle to turn the steering wheel than you use when you have that power steering in place!
