Hey guys, I'm about to R&R my steering wheel. Replacing with one from an XF. I haven't pulled a SW from car with a clock spring before (yep I'm that old). Looking at the manual, first thing I see that I need is this:


So I'll prolly have a few questions. The first one - is there an alternative to this tool you guys have used to hold the clock spring in place?

EDIT: I guess here is another tooll I need to remove the airbag: Help with an alternate to the Jaguar tool as well. I'probably be able to figure something out if it were a better illustration:



Thanks again. I'm just skittish when it comes to the airbag.

 

Give it "time" somebody must know

 

OK service tool 501-120 is just a 90 degree flathead screw driver so I'm fashioning one now. Watched a couple of you tube videos and as long as I don't twist or turn the clockk spring, I should be fine. Maybe I'll get on with it today.

 

That is sort of a fair description but it does have a twist in it. Here are the two we have. Our 211-326 is out on loan. Hope this helps.

 

It did help thank you. I fashioned one out of a small chisel and used a vice grip to turn it. Worked just fine. I'm happy with the result:
