TIPS: *Don’t start machine screw(s) or bolts with anything but your fingers. After it’s started, then use your power tool. This will keep you from cross threading your screws. *On the ground wire, crimp or solder a ring connector on it, then install. If you look closely at the video, the bare wire comes loose. It’s difficult to keep a bare wire where it will stay put, without using a ring connector. *The metal colored piece has a slot in it for the horn wire. Tape the sucker in place in the grove, so you don’t smash it causing a short or open while installing. *Install everything but only snug the wheel on. CAREFULLY Drive the vehicle somewhere where there is no traffic, in a straight line to verify the steering wheel is straight. If it’s crooked, you can loosen it and reposition the steering wheel where it straight, then torque it down. I hope this helps prevent what should be an easy install from turning into a nightmare.
You really need to learn how to use a drill.... that wheel on the collar behind the chuck... that sets your torque, set it at 1 or 2 for "test fitting", then set it at "10-12" for final assembly... having it cranked all the way up or on "drill" means you could mar the bolts, cross-thread, or pinch things unnecessarily. Let the tool do the work. Also, keep the speed on "low" or "1"... that way it wont torque in your hand.
the bell on the bell wire Is on backwards I just installed a steering wheel from forever sharp and the bell was backwards FYI compar it to the one that came stock on your car or truck and you well see what I mean!!!!!
You need to tell classicparts to clearly state the necessity of this A01 installation kit for chevy trucks. I sat out in my drive with a steering wheel kit that came with unnecessary hardware and NO INSTRUCTIONS. Add to that a company that is not open on weekends and I am one unhappy customer. Oh and a true professional would never attach a ground the way you did. Include a spade connector and use that.
I just got one of your steering wheels for our 1969 Camaro. The plastic housing coming out of the steering column does not have the slot so the black plastic clip will not stay in place. How can I fix this? Thanks
Thats because the original retainer position is under the adapter. I been scratching my head all damn dat and no matter how far i push it down. My old retainer wont go down... Drilled a hole and slid a coder pin😂
I try to put a grant steering wheel On my 69 toronado. But im not sure if the adapter kit. Its correct its a sw-900 of pilot installing kit. Its exactly like on video except. De second adapter
Put on the new wheel and now my steering wheel moves side to side and up and down. I put the column spring back in but it doesn't hold the wheel straight. What did I do wrong?
+juan peralta I picked up a column from the junkyard, the steering wheel was missing but it had this 3 bolt adapter. I used a normal 2 bolt puller from the auto parts store, screwed in 1 bolt then started tightening the puller then as it started leaning to the side with the 1 bolt i hit the other side with a hammer and it popped right off. Probably not the best way but it worked for me.

Can't believe no other video mentions that metal ring. Had me wondering what the heck it was. Thank you!
Great video ! Its 6 years old but it still helped me out for sure. Thank you.
Instablaster.
Awesome, thank you! After research, found I needed the spacer/adapter. That part had no instructions
Great video ,thank you. Just don't forget to disconnect your battery if doing an in car install.
Hi,That was SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank You Wayne J.
Im sure glad you didn't cross thread the final bolts.....
What in the hell is with the comments
They have so many A01 adapter kits I’m not sure which one fits my truck
Dam that was easy a rabbit can do it. great video thank you very helpful
Great vid
I think your ground wire came off mate, are you going to undo everything and do that again???
Thank you! Nice simple video... Got my wheel on no problem.
The installation is straight forward, but my issue is the horn wire is too small to connect to the horn button. It doesn't fit

Why are steering wheel adapter kits so terrible?
I didn't see you replace the "retainer clip" after the shaft nut? But over all great vid...thanks

Good stuff 👍
Mine came with an orange piece and it didn’t come with a spacer. Is the orange piece the spacer?
Dam, sure wish I didn't have to run that spacer!
that steering column looks identical to my 92 Riviera column... see it on "airride riviera" youtube
its an s10 tilt column
Put on the new wheel and now my steering wheel moves side to side and up and down. I put the column spring back in but it doesn't hold the wheel straight. What did I do wrong?
I can’t find this exact adapter
Do u hv the adapter quick release for a GMC c3500 sierra
Where do you install safety or retaining clip? Mine got loose
great video. Is this pretty much the same setup as for a 93 Chevy S10 pickup truck?
That column is identical to my 91 camaro rs i want to put a removable steering wheel do i need 5 bolt or a 3 bolt adapter??
Is it possible to install this steering wheel on a 2000 Chevy Blazer with airbag
do you need a puller to remove to pull off the shaft
video helped...thanks
Is that by chance to a Fiero?
My wire has a different tip
do you really need the spacer to installed it?
I ordered that exact steering wheel and received a beige one. 🤦🏾♂️
no videos on how to remove the original steering wheel??
how can i remove an after market and put a stock one back on do i need a special tool?

Does this adapter fit a 2001 gmc sierra 1500??
Nice video 👍 only thing the noise of the drill it's annoying
What steering wheel is that ?

HEY! Important.
Can I use a 6 bolt spacer with a 9 bolt wheel? I can't find the spacer I want in a 9 bolt! HELP!

Im sure glad you didn't cross thread the final bolts.....
