anyone know how to tighten the steering wheel?

like the topic says. How do I tighten the steering wheel where it pivots to move it up or down adjustments? Mine has become loose and I cant see how to get in there to tighten a bolt that I hope is there...

thanks!

I cost me $112 to have a shop do it.


My dumbass waited til the F'n steering wheel popped off in my hand(Im talking my keys were on the left and signal on the right) as I was completing a turn. Luckily I didnt wreck and nobody was hurt.

Learn from me...fix it ASAP!

yeah...it takes 3-4 hrs to do.Maybe quicker if you have a steering wheel puller and other proper tools and if you know what your doing.Otherwise its a slow, tedious process with alot of small parts to lose...

if you have done it before and have all the right tools, you can do it in about an hour


but, first time, round it up to 4 hours just to be safe and give yourself enough time
