I am installing a wood grain wheel

and I got everything moved over but when I took off the leather wheel I moved the cable reel

so on the instructions Acura says to turn the reel clockwise until it stops...well theres no EXACT stop...its by tention.

so my question is do I turn the hell out of the reel until I physically cant turn it anymore

need some help ASAP!!!!

Does this help?

Scanning through instructions, it looks like you have to turn the cable reel until it will no longer go.

I have the exact same instructions

but I cannot explain what I mean unless youve felt the tentsion in the reel itself

I can spin the reel clockwise and it sort of stops BUT because it uses tenstion I can turn it alot more but I didnt want to use too much force in fear of breaking the reel

so after posting last night..I just turned it clockwise and a little harder..but not too much and they spun it back counter-clockwise 2 1/2 turns

BTW..the directions included w/ the wheel say 2 turns back counter-clockwise but my shop manual says 2 1/2...and it is 2 1/2

tested it out and it worked fine...and the airbag didnt even explode in my face :p

thanks for the help though I DO appreciate it!!!!!
