    clockspring needs to be fixed...need help

    I recently replaced the P/S rack in my 92 Lx and when I was setting up the steering wheel, I turned it too far and broke the clockspring. Now my horn, Cruise and SRS do not work.
    How difficult is it to repair the clockspring? If I disconnect the negative side of the battery, will the SRS still deploy if I attempt to repair the clockspring?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I would just replace it all together, when I worked at honda, I had diagnosed a car for a customer needing a clock spring, he declined the repair. He thought he was going to be able to fix it himself, a week later the car was back at the shop because the dumd shit screwed with it and it deployed the air bag while he was stopped at a light. lol!!!! now instead of paying 375.00 for the repair, had to pay 1800.00.

      How hard is it to replace the clockspring? I am assuming it means taking apart the entire steering wheel assembly to get to the closckspring?
      I searched but cannot find anything about replacing it? It is not in my Chilton manual either. Does anyone have a fsm that explains how to do it?

            clock spring is very very easy to replace, if you can get the airbag/steering wheel removed, its literally a matter of 3 phillips head screws...

              Is it a pain in the ass to remove the steering wheel with the airbag? Any place where there are instructions would be great. Thanks.
