Steering wheel removel

Never done it before, on the LS is it easy? Like the wires are pretty straight foward right, disconnect and reconnect and screw in the wheel right?

Of course unplug the battery because of airbag.

That's a question I was gonna check out too since my leather is very faded on my current steering wheel

Little tip. Loosen the bolt that holds the wheel to the shaft but DON'T remove it. That way you can yank the wheel off and it won't pop loose and smack you in the teeth.

get the proper two-finger hub puller - it's a $5 thing and take 2 mins.

Make sure you set the airbag aside, its face up... just in case.

yes and no.... as you tighten the bolt in the puller its just going to spin the torx bolt back in.

VERY good advice! Lol, took me 2 days to remove the steering wheel because it wouldnt just pull off, so I rented a "steering wheel puller". Dont work on the LS. So I rented an axle removal tool (156$ to rent. somewhat like the 2 finger tool but uses 4 and its like 3 ft long). Finally got it off but I think the hub puller would be best!
