2001 Silverado Swith

Greetings Friends I have a problem with my Silverado 1500 year 2001 the choros visited me on the weekend and rpmpa the switch on and I cannot turn on the vehicle or change the swith for not being able to remove the steering wheel; some suggestion

hello .
I imagine that you have reached the central area where there is a nut. If it is done and the loose you will notice that there is a striated area between steering wheel and axis; Well this always gives problems I recommend something fast. Apply a small amount of some lubricant to help the disassembly and with a biting element, whether a piece of bronze or aluminum hits the axis and at the same time making a force contrary to the wheel. With this I should release.
luck....

Not that is the problem I have not reached that nut, the Air Bag is not removed, which I have to release to have access to the interior where that nut is, I hope you have an idea of ​​how to remove this thanks

Hello friend, I tell you that the removal of the steering wheel in a vehicle with Air Bag is a procedure that requires specialized knowledge and most times special tools because there is a serious danger of explosion and personal damage can be serious. Admeas. If you manage to take out the airbag without problems, do you do the central bolt of the steering wheel because the inside of the direction column has bearings and the axis has a sliding joint and at least 2 cardan joints that can be damaged. Instead you can get an extractor type crow and with two M8 screws you can extract it without finding anything. The key cylinder you have to take it out with the key in ACC position (it does not come out in any other position) the iterruptor, what you call switch is subject by 2 Torx screws very small. And you change it. Before performing all these procedures, be sure to disconnect the battery. keep me informed about how you are doing

The problem is that the capsule does not turn to reach that position ACC I think I will have to drill with a drill the capsule and eliminate the pins since the key does not enter and it is impossible to turn thanks thanks
