Part: Steering wheel

In this video tutorial, you can see how to replace the steering wheel on a Jeep Cherokee. The first step is to prepare all the necessary tools: a 3/8 ratchet, an extension, a 16 mm socket, a 39/16 mm socket, another 7/8 socket, an 8 mm extension, and a steering wheel puller. To remove the old steering wheel, use a socket with an extension and an 8 mm nut. The next step is to remove the two screws. Now, disconnect the airbag, which is connected by two wires. Using the ratchet with a 16 mm socket, unscrew the central nut of the steering wheel. Now use the puller to remove the two screws of the steering wheel. At this point, install the new steering wheel by reversing the process.
