2014 jeep grand cherokee steering wheel removal

Please help:

I am going to have my steering wheel recovered by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel. I've looked through the threads here and at the other site. I am finding bits and pieces here and there. I just dont want to damage anything. I know a few people on here have done it. Would someone be willing to write up a step by step process for me? Looking forward to getting this done. It's a 2010, if that matters. Thanks!

I just did this same thing a couple months ago. It takes maybe 5 min to get the steering wheel off. I removed the bolts on the rear of the steering wheel by bringing it up to the 12 o'clock position to get each bolt out then the center cover will come off. Remove the two wire clips for the air bag and then just take the steering wheel bolt off then I had to use a steering wheel puller that comes with the bolts to pull the wheel off. You can rent them from auto zone. I just bought one from auto zone for $13. The new wheel great!!! I love it!!

Very true. I should of wrote that in there. Just thought that was a given. Haha

Basically this, except the 08-10s don't have bolts holding in the air bag. They have metal clips that you'll have to use a flat head screw driver to get them off. There are 3 slots in the back of the steering wheel to access each one and just pry on each on until it comes free. Just make sure when you get one free it doesn't pop back into place while you're trying to get the others. I think WKJeeps.com had a diagram of the removal process.

Thanks guys for the help! It's on it's way back. I'll post some pics when I get it back on.

Looks great Mike!

...but wait, you forgot to install an AFR GAUGE in there :rofl:

Oh, and by the way, thanks for all of the help!

How hard did you pull on the airbag cover after loosening the three clips? I am afraid to pull too hard....or does it take considerable force?

If the clips are loose, it shouldn't take any effort at all. It should pretty much fall off.

You have to pop one clip at a time and give it a good amount of force at each clip. One at a time. Just make sure as you pull each clip the others don't pop back in.

Looks good, Our stock steering wheels really suck, and are ugly... I wish I did mine from day one... Im in love with the set up I have now
