This method is generally followed at the workshop with the help of professional fitters.
1. Disconnect the battery: Before starting any work on the electrical system of your car, disconnect the battery. This will prevent any accidental damage to the electrical system.
2. Remove the airbag: The airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel. To remove it, you will need to use a special tool to release the clips that hold it in place. Be careful not to damage the airbag when removing it.
3. Remove the steering wheel: Once the airbag is removed, you can remove the steering wheel. To do this, you will need to use a steering wheel puller. Be careful not to damage the steering column when removing the steering wheel.
4. Install the new steering wheel: Place the new steering wheel on the steering column and tighten the bolts. Be careful not to over-tighten the bolts, as this could damage the steering column.
5. Reconnect the airbag: Reconnect the airbag to the steering wheel and secure it in place with the clips.
6. Reconnect the battery: Reconnect the battery and test the steering wheel to make sure it works correctly.
