It depends: does your truck have Power Steering or manual. Keep in mind that while driving a car with speed, power steering or manual, much less movement needs to be made on the wheel to make a bigger turn adjustment. If you have power steering, and it is hard to turn at any rate, check the fluid, belt, and check for leaks. if you cant find whats wrong and you still have a problem turning the wheel, it probably the pump going out. If you have a truck with manual steering, it might be normal.

In a '92 Dodge Colt import how do you get the steering wheel loose so you can replace it?
you just have to remove the horn cover and you should see the nut that fix the steering. it should be hard to remove but you can achieve it even if u don't have a puller. First u should take a marker and place a mark to be sure to replace the steering at the same position. Then if you have a puller use it, if not i had success by pulling (we were 2 guys pulling) the steering and knocking on the top of the bolt to make some vibration and make the removal easier.
How do you fix a leak in the power steering pump?
You can't. Well you can, but it's easier and cheaper if you buy a remanufactured power steering pump. Most leaks in these pumps come from the mounting seal for the reservoir. You will need special tools to pull and replace these seals, and not to mention the hassle. So, a remanufactured pump should be cheap and easier to remedy your problem.

You shouldn't have to remove the airbag in order to replace the gas gauge light. The steering column is held up by a couple of retaining bolts. Remove these bolts and the steering column will lower enough that instrument panel will come out easier. The steering column won't drop to the floor when you do this but will hang in midair. If you have a tilt wheel, you might have to adjust the wheel tilt to allow the panel to come out easier. Don't forget to remove the steering column cover though.
