Got a question... so my kid played with the steering wheel, is that going to affect when I reinstall the new one?

Figured it would be fine since the arm is broke off. Just get the wheel straight with the tires.

This. You need to make sure you re center the wheel to the clock spring or you risk ripping the wires out of it, made that mistake once with my tj.
Try turning very lightly all the way to one side until you feel a slight resistance. And then all the way to the other side counting how many rotations. Divide by 2 put it there.

Yeah the wheels not attached to anything so will free rotate (until the limit of the clock spring at least)

Hey all, crawled out of the rubicon to get the part from autozone in placerville that was supposed to be sent up from sac, but part never came in. Now autozone is telling me The sac store never had the part and there was some kind of miss communication.. Is there anyone that can assist us in anyway.. maybe locate a place that might have the part. Thanks in advance

That sucks. This happened (broken Sector) a couple years back to someone in the group I was with. The answer was going through Jeep dealership for the part. Full steering box. We got a couple folks to relay with the part to the trail.
Is he still stuck in the same spot or were you able to move him at all? Eddie had to "walk the dog" using the guys winch connected to d rings on steering components. Don't know exactly what components.
Maybe eddie or others there can chime in with some advice on that front.

Contact the dealerships or drive down here to SoCal. I have a spare box you can have.

Looks like he has no winch.... can ratchet straps be used to hold the wheels in position so he can be towed out?.... maybe to an area where a flatbed can reach him..
