The socket is a good idea hopefully that helps someone. Nice vid Joe looks great.

These videos are helpful and inspirational for me. Thank you!

Fairly straightforward fix, I like it Joe! 👍👍Awesome stuff brother!

I didnt figure it would be too hard but it was even easier than expected.

Quick and easy fix, i like it! I bought my ‘99 F-350 a little over 2 years ago and the steering wheel was absolutely mint so i threw a ford cover on it to protect it just in case. Bought the truck with 142K on her, she’s sitting at 157K now.

@@JLCmike4014 very true, Everytime I take the trailer to a campground there's always one or two guys stopping and checking to see if I want to sell it, a truck this vintage is very hard to find, most are beat to death or completely rusted out, they use a lot of salt here

Came out looking nice, I agree with you on people and steering wheels 😂, never understood how they get like that. What few cars I’ve had the wheels/interior always looks new after miles and miles, only thing that might get worn after 10 years for me is the seat, but disabled myself as well, I’m sure I rub the seats getting in and out

Thanks for the tutorial & link to the puller man, I bought one online to remove the wheel of my Ranger and it didn’t even work. Gotta return it which is annoying, but I’m gonna buy the one you’ve got here.

⁠@@LivingOnWheelsIt worked great for me! I just had to put a socket on the end of it since it wouldn’t thread in. Thanks again for the video & link, man. Love your content and keep up the good work, you’re a rockstar.

Just wanted to say I got to watching your videos during the pandemic. I really appreciate them as Iona 2002 7.3 PSD crew cab. I did notice that your link in your description to the bug and tie remover and the eraser wheel arethe same link. You may want to change those or you may not want to but I happened to notice it.

Hi Joe, another helpful and informative video. I always appreciate it when the presentation includes tools required to complete the job. For instance were those Allen bolts holding on the airbag? You did mention the torx. Thank you.

Wondering if it would be possible to install a steering wheel from 2017+ truck. That would be a way to get heated steerinwheel and updated look. I get you would have to do some serious wiring. Just bought a 2000 Excursion with 7.3 and liking your channel, lots of info and inspiration.

I’m sure it’s possible but man it’s not a project I would want to take on haha.

Thanks for the info

Enjoy your vids man! (Including the vids not related to 7.3) Helpful for my two superdutys i got! Side note: whats your plan for new headlights/taillights? Itching to see what your plan is, haha 😄

I would like to build a custom set of projector headlights again and I probably won’t touch the twilights till I flatbed it.

Word of Caution here, my Excursion is an XLT. I bought a steering wheel from the same year model Eddie Bauer.... when you press the CC 'on' button, the horn honks. I had to pull the CC buttons out of the old XLT steering wheel and put them in the Eddie Bauer steering wheel.... now the CC works. Caveat: the Eddie Bauer CC harness will NOT lock into the connector, you will think you broke the Latch removing the XLT steering wheel. Nope: Ford reversed the Latch !@#$% when I put the XLT CC harness back in, the Latch locked up solid, and the CC works perfect again. >
