Got my steering wheel off [Again] - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #61271 41 posts Started by DEATH
lol, i am doing a Celica GTMR2. wink.gif

My sources are Mr2, except the airbag, rav 4. Its not carbon fiber, its perforated leather.

My seats are MR2 now, my carpet is black, and just working on the rear seat conversion to black.!!!

Thanks for the comments, but each one has different taste, some people dont like my wheel but its ok, cause i love it, it does not bother me. I rather be unique. I am looking at trends, and using suff i my car that nobody else is. so there is only one. Me. I hope to dominate the world.

BTW and will be posting pics soon of my progress....

So no guides on how to get the wheel off?
oh god, people!!!!! laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

use a hex wrench to remove the nuts, one in each side.



remove the airbag and place upright



remove the bolt in the center,



using a steering wheel puller do this



to get this.



if you are swapping change the plug to the correct airbag plug like this.... (7th gen plug!!!)



after its done. it looks like this...



then you grab this



and you put it back together like this.!!



and voila

Do you have to have a wheel puller to get it off?
No. And its much faster without the puller if you know how to do it.

How do you do it without the puller?
Ahhh.... one of the many joys of owning a 98+ 6th gen.. a beautiful, stock 3-post steering wheel. wink.gif

I said it gives a Carbon Fiber FEEL to it. It'd look pretty fresh if you put some CF somewhere in the car too biggrin.gif it'd match the wheel a little bit.

To me mine has some batman-esques curve where you put your thumb that goes perfectly with the aeshtetic I'm trying [successfully] to achieve.
njccmd2002's wheel looks right for what he's doing.
This why we have choices - for other's to think outside the box and find a taste all their own - otherwise we'd all be driving around with stock cars and saying how perfect they are.

Oh, and as for njccmd2002's wheel, IMHO it gives a CarbonFiber trend illusion to it... Where as Death's does not. Death's is perfect for his car, as he dosen't have a stitch of CarbonFiber in that car. (well the hood is CF, but it's not the glossy-show car style that everyone automaticaly thinks of) See his profile.


That's fine, I was just commenting. And here I thought my car was perfect. frown.gif
