DIY: Stock Steering Wheel Removal

[thisisagame24]

ok well this will be usefull for all those who want to install and aftermarket steerwheel or quick release

the tools you will need are:
rachet with 10mm and 3/4 sockets
at least a 3inch extention
T30 tourx screw
flat head screw driver

the first thing you want to do is disconnect the battery and let the car sit for 15 min to make sure all the power is out of the system so the air bag wont deploy when you disconect the SRS

secondly you need to remove the top part of the steering column cover which you just grabe the sides and pull up. comes off very easy

after that you need to locate the two tabs on either side of the steering wheel.




there is a slot for either one to slide in a flat head screw driver. push them in to get a little seperation and push the tabs and they should come off

now you should see this
driver side:


passanger side:


on each side there is one tourx screw. un-do those




once those are un-screwed the air bag should slide out with a little wiggling





there are 3 connectors that need to be un done.
1) yellow SRS
2)grey cruise control
3)blue horn

ones those are undone the air bag is now free




now with the air bag free there will be one bolt holding on the steering wheel, this is where you need the 3/4 socket and extention




ok....after that nuts is off the wheel is free to come off. this might take some strength and some leverage. and be carefull not to yank the wires like i did out of the SRS spindle because thats not cheap to replace
