There is a lot of information in there regarding a specific part's replacement, but it will definitely help you get the steering wheel off.

Thank you Ryan!

You're welcome. I hope it's some use to you. When you get it figured out, stick around! We all drive Fords, so we have a lot of times when our trucks are running perfectly and we like to shoot the breeze. Make yourself at home and join in on the shenanigans.

Are u sure it has an airbag? I dont recall them ever recieving one due to the GVRW.

Only trucks without airbags as far as I know are class 6 and above.

Im pretty sure the 92-96/7 F250 and F350 didnt get an air bag, at least i never seen one with an airbag.

Could be, I was thinking of my 97...I know in 05 the larger trucks didn't come with them.

CAUTION: Do not remove the steering column, steering wheel (3600) , steering wheel pad horn switch (13A805) and air bag module as an assembly from the vehicle unless the column is locked to prevent rotation. Lower end of steering shaft should be wired to prevent the steering wheel from being rotated.
