Mark, is you are still going to pull the wheel keep a few things in mide. Holding down the brake pedal will not help to power down the air bag system any faster. The air bag control unit has a "batter" (for lack of a better word) that holds the charge incase of a massive wreck where batter power was lost the air bags could still deploy. The only way to make sure is just to wait the set period of time. Also, make sure that you disconect the air bag plug under the dash before you start to take apart the steering colum. It is a rather obivious yellow conector. After that remove the bolts holding the air bag on, and then unplug it from the clock switch. (as said by jessica, be carefully with air bag moduel as it can still deploy. we set one off with a 9 volt battery in class). Then you will need a puller...13.99 to buy or 22.00 to rent at advance. The wheel is splined onto the steering shaft. It will be helpfull to mark the cuttent location with a permant marker on the wheel and the shaft, that way you are sure of how many splines you are moving. Before doing all of that, double check your tie rods since they control toe. We did an alingment on mine and got everything within spec, but did not lock the sttering wheel so the wheel itself is a fe degrees off. I am gonna pull and relocate the wheel in the right palce). Sorry for the long post, but hope this helps. Gotta love Wyotech!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
