Its the twin cam 2.8 litre diesel 2003
How do i remove the steering wheel , first I have to remove the air bag.
Never done this before so i want to start when i know what I am doing.
I recently adjusted the Rack ends because of poor tyre wear.

Then I need to remove the radiator, I wanted to change the coolant but nothing is coming out of the drain plug so i think its blocked
Any ideas

Allen

Are you sure the drain is fully open? It doesn't start flowing until it's almost all the way out (turned).

Why do you need to remove steering wheel? It's easy, though you will need a steering wheel puller.

Steering wheel pullers are nice but you can work around it. Loosen the nut a quarter inch or so, put your knees against the back of the steering wheel, lift with your ankles and use a hammer and punch on the center of the shaft, being careful to not bugger the threads. Ive pulled many this way with no problems.
