How do you take off a 1989 s10 steering wheel no tilt no airbag?

Remove the horn button by gently prying it loose. Unplug the wire. Remove the retaining clip with a snap ring tool or just by prying with a small flat screwdriver. You can also use a small pair or needle nose, pulling the handles apart to open the clip. Remove the steering wheel nut. Next, you will most likely need a steering wheel puller. You can usually borrow this from a parts store. You will attach the puller using the two small, threaded holes on either side of the main bolt. The main part of the puller will push on the center, while pulling the two outer bolts. The wheel should release after a few cranks of the wrench.

What would cause front wheel to oscillate rides fine but take hands from grips and bump bar will oscillate more and more as soon as you grip bar will stop?

Interpreting your anomaly as steering oscillations (handlebars go left to right to left, etc.) with conventional telescopic forks when you release your grip from the handlebars, that is caused primarily by a worn front tire (and possibly the rear tire, too). Even balanced motorcycle tires wear unevenly, but that uneven wear is from side to side (that is to say, the tire's "profile"). The crown of the road causes the uneven wear of the tires. The side of the tire toward the road centerline (side in USA) wears faster. So as uneven tire wear increases, the unstable characteristic (fork oscillation) increases. As hard as this is to believe, your previous test will confirm this. So after mounting and balancing both new tires, do what you did previously. You might also be able to bump the handlebar on one side to trigger that wobbling, but the forks will not do that. It may seem as though you installed a steering damper. Tires are so simple! RIGHT!!!! Hope that this helps. NOTE: This is writer's experience of 40 years riding and maintaining personal motorcycles. Writer assumes no responsibility for this response. Feedback welcome.

What does the power steering pressure switch do?

The switch's function is to signal the PCM when the power-steering system exceeds its normal operating hydraulic pressure, like when you cut the steering wheel all the way to one side and hear that hissing sound from the pump. The PCM then raises the idle speed and/or disengages the air-conditioning compressor to prevent the engine from stalling.

How does a power steering flush work?

Any machine that has water in often needs bleeding(have some water released) in order to let out any air or water in the system. The trapped air can cause the system to work less efficiently. This 'bleeding' can be done in things like radiators. For most systems you turn a special key that fits with the radiator for example in order to release the water.
