Default steering wheel bearing
I got the steering pad off, the clip and plastic parts out of the way, how does one get the old bearing out?

Thanks in advance for your help...

That's a huge and difficult job, why do you want to replace the bearing???

You should be ablt to determine if the bearing is shot or not. Usually its just the bushing. chances are your bearing is fine

Remove wheel, and column clip that wheel bottoms against. Clean away old bushing material. Tap new bushing in. Install clip & wheel.
