ok, so I bought my 2003 v6 Mustang last summer and when i purchased it the horn didnt work, the cruise control didnt work, and apparently the 3rd gear down shift? on the gear shift didnt work. I was told the source of the problem was the clock spring and that it was an easy fix. Well it wasnt. I have not been able to get my steering wheel off. The biggest problem was the two places to hold screws have been stripped. but i learned there are other devices for removing.

My question is for those who have done this before, look at my pictures and see if there is something i am supposed to take out first before i try to pull my steering wheel out again. Thanks guys!

 

Maybe those allens?

 

It won't just pull off? My airbag was held on by two screws on the side of the wheel and then the big bolt in the center. Once I got those off and the airbag out it pulled straight off

I can't imagine it being that much different
