2025 Bronco Air Bag Clock Spring replacement

[Bucky33]

Hello, i tried to swap out my steering wheel today and managed to break the air bag clock spring behind the steering wheel as I missed a connector behind the wheel when I tried to pull the wheel off after removing the t50 bolt.

Does anyone have the repair manual procedures to replace the part? Also if someone could confirm the part number as I see multiple parts with the air bag clock spring part name.

My Bronco is a 2025 Badlands 2.3 manual transmission non sasquatch. I know there are a couple of Ford techs/employees like @Ducati1098 and @flip .
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide. Screwed up, live and learn...

Hi Ducati, thank you so much. I forgot to mention that there is a plastic circle part that is loose around the steering wheel mount bolt (red arrow in picture). Is that part of the clock spring or would I also need to get another housing part (part #3F791)?

It’s probably part of the clockspring. But it’s a little hard to tell because I’ve never pulled the front face of it off like that lol

I would remove the rest of it first and see how it looks.

If you need the housing behind it also, it comes with a new clockspring

Just wanted to update. Followed Ducati's advice and opened up the column shroud and found out that the broken off piece back there was just part of the clockspring. Installed a new one and all is perfect and finished up the steering wheel swap. Thanks again @Ducati0927 and @flip
