Index the clock spring

[bellaireroad]

Getting ready to swap my wheel. I’ve actually pulled the airbag before, so very familiar with that process. I also have a set of puller’s, so no problem there.

Only thing I am concerned about his indexing the clock spring. I have noticed that the new clock Springs come with a plastic tab, that you pull after installation. Would it be a good idea to place a piece of plastic or a dowel in there before the wheel is actually pulled? Or is this really that big of a deal?

Also anyone know the torque spec on the wheel nut?

Did you tape it before you pulled the wheel?

After.. it's nit spring loaded. Its a cartridge of some sorts.

Ive done wheels on a miata, ram and cr-v. Not an issue.

Ahh, ok. I was concerned about it moving while the wheel is being pulled

It's more of an issue of it moving after it's pulled but before you re-install it. This should help...
