Q: How to service and repair the steering wheel safely on Lincoln Town Car?
A: Steering wheel service requires the wheels to face forward direction while the technician disconnects the ground battery cable for a minimum period of one minute. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) requires deactivation to minimize serious personal injuries before the technician proceeds to remove the driver side air bag while disconnecting the Clock Spring electrical connector. A 2-Jaw Puller must be used during the steering wheel bolt removal because the tool protects column bearings from damage. Also discard the bolt after removal. Loop the Clock Spring wires through the steering wheel before its complete extraction. Installation includes reversing the removal process after activating the supplemental restraint system (SRS) with all required warnings together with safety instructions.
Q: How to service the steering wheel on Lincoln Navigator?
A: Removing the driver air bag module constitutes the first step for servicing the steering wheel. Put the wheel at a straight-ahead position before removing and discarding the steering wheel bolt. The new installation requires a bolt which should reach a torque of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). First detach the steering wheel switches electrical connector connected to the Clock Spring. After that remove the steering wheel moving the wires through it with caution. The installation of tape around the outer housing prevents the Clock Spring center rotor from rotating. Put the steering wheel into place by executing the opposite steps used in removal.
