  1. Park the truck with the front wheels in the straight ahead position do not turn or the steering wheel shaft after,before or during or will damage the clockspring

  3. If the truck is equipped with speed control remove the switch retaining screws.Pull off the switches and unplug the electrical connector
  4. If equipped remove the right rear steering wheel cover using a small screwdriver
  5. Remove the 4 nuts attaching the airbag module it will probably be necessary to turn the steering wheel to gain access to the nuts; just be sure to center the wheel after the nuts are removed
  6. Lift off the airbag module and unplug the electrical connector when you set the airbag module down make sure the airbag side is facing up so that if it accidentally deploys it wont launch

It is very hard to remove a steering wheel by hand. Auto part stores have a steering wheel puller that can be rented or bought, that will help remove a steering wheel.

You will also be messing with the air bag. I would recommend purchasing a shop repair manual to help you.

It takes pullers and special tools plus you have to mess with the air bag which can be deployed accidentally. I suggest taking it to the shop.
