I have an 89 toyota pickup when i bought it the steering wheel was on upside down.. How do I fix this?? Do I have to be worried about the airbag going off when I do go to fix it??

 

your 89 should have no air bag theres a few screws holding the horn part on take those out and there should be if i remember a 19mm nut holding the steering wheel to the shaft.... make sure the wheels are good and straight dont take the nut completely off leave a few turns on it now grab the wheel and give it a good yank

 

thank you that will help

 

Umm....don't know what to tell you on the airbag.....didn't know '89's had them. But, to turn it right side up, if and when you get the front cover off.....there should be screws in the back.....you'll see a nut threaded on to the column. Loosen that and then pull the wheel off the splines with a puller. You can rent them at an auto store. O'Reilly, for example.

Some have had luck just wiggling the wheel off, but I never have.

 

Upps....looks like the Eltonmeister beat me to it....darn him.

 

I think your just driving upside down. Flip truck over and then everything will be alright

 

It's the Trevor method. Cool!

 

I thought that was normal for jeep?

 

My bad...its a jeep thing

I've always wanted to pull a jeep over on the road and tell them they just lost their frame back there

 

trevor...what?

im pretty sure that your truck has no airbags...
seeing as tho it got the worst rating of an SUV EVER, there wouldnt really be a need for them...
gotta love the 1/2 star rating on the drivers side door and a 3 star on the passengers side...

 

Since when was a pick-up and SUV?

Space-junk been smokin'.....

damn editor.........

 

What a way to make the OP feel better 'bout his rig, Trev.....lol

 

I'm certain it does not have air bags.

 

Bashing on my driving skillz makes me feel bad too

 

ok if its upside down is the aliment bad? as in does it turn the same amount of turns to the left as it does for the right? if so then yeah just do the old ol' screw and yank does the trick right guys?

 

Yep, mine was crooked as ever. Removed the cover, removed the bolt, and hit the edge of the steering wheel with my hand multiple times before it popped off...then aligned it (easier if the wheels are straight!!!)

 

thanks guys fixed it today and didnt run into any problems
