Can I Safely Open Spider at Steering Column
Can I just move the spring clip and the bottom of the spider opens or will "stuff" fall out and get loose. I'd like to clean in there, but if it ain't broke don't fix it" may apply.

They are easy to get off but hard to get back on. My wife had to help me with this and now I owe her big. Also, some of the clips that the vendors are selling need modification to fit.

Re: Can I Safely Open Spider at Steering Column
I'd remove cover and look, no spray, easy to do! Or maybe try some electrical spray cleaner, never tried that but might work. You can do it!!!

Disconnect the battery. That yellow wire is hot.
