2, Disconnect the car battery and wait 30 minutes for the network to completely shut down, and in case of static discharge .

3, Remove airbag and old clock spring.

4, Install the new clock spring.

5, Remove the transport securing screw and turn the clockspring clockwise until you reach the stop.
