For changing a steering wheel, Does all I need is a Steering wheel puller?

And does anyone have a 98-01 Jeep Cherokee Steering wheel parts?
I'll let you know what I need when someone has one.

 

ohhhhhhhhh...and i was really looking forward to talking about my AWESOME steering wheel!

 

you can post your steering wheel photos on here, Had to do some editing.

 

I've only ever pulled steering wheels w/o airbags, but I would imagine that it is the same once the airbag is removed... in which case, a steering wheel puller is all I've ever used.. and maybe a screwdriver or two.

I would also want to have a replacement steering wheel some hand tools also . That should be all does you need lol

 

The steering wheel I bought you can take it off with a puller, I just unscrewed the Airbag at the JY but I didn't have a puller and was able to take the nut off. but now I need some parts for it but the JY got rid of all there cherokees there. I guess theres a law to crush the clunkers by a certin time, Because they crushed 2 very good, filled with parts Black 2000 Jeep Cherokees and 2 Forest Green Cherokees. Makes me sad to see all those good parts get crushed. had the bumpers on them like new. really the entire bodies was like new with the tires removed.

 

Nah there's no law... the JY owners will only let them sit there for so long to get money off of parts... I'd no one comes by to pick them apart after a certain amount of time, the crush them and get money off the scrap metal.

I believe that the air bag is attached to the rubber cover on the steering wheel, where it says jeep. There might be a screw or two connecting it to the column.

The next time you go to the jy look around. You will find one with it removed. At least all the ones I've seen removed are connected to the inside of the steering wheel cover so it won't be in your way.

 

^^^^ yeah, what he said...

I'm looking to get the suround around the colum behind the steering wheel off a 1996. would this fit on mine?

 

No it won't.

As far as removing an airbag, do your homework before attempting on an operational system.

 

I was hoping this thread would be about removing the air bag steering wheel and installing some radically cool looking steering wheel !!!

Clunkers from " cash for clunkers " never made it to the JY for picking. They were marked and sent directly to the ' for crushing ' section of the yard. There they got loaded onto trailers and take to the crusher.

Why did those two Cherokees disappear? Most likely because they were there too long.

Down here Crazy Ray's is like a chain of Junk Yards and the remove vehicles for crushing after they have been in the yard for a certain time period. I am restoring a 96, 2 door, 5 speed and was pulling parts from one in the yard that was junked for a blown motor. I was pulling interior parts and got all I could carry. Went back the next morning and it was GONE!

 

i really was excited to see some kinda grant steering wheel or something

The law only stated that the "clunkers" had to be disposed of by a certain time. Your local jy may have sent them directly to the crusher, but most were placed on jy lots for picking. As long as the engines were rendered inopperable at the dealer, then the rest was available for parts resale. The junkyards here painted all of the engines with orange paint so they would know which parts were not available for sale.

 

What after market steering wheels come with airbags? I don't like the thickness of my 2001 wheel. Any suggestions?
