Steering wheel removal

Does anyone know how to remove the steering wheel? May be removal guide?
Thanks

 

My guess is it's very similar to a second gen.

this is not helpful but I gotta ask. Why do you need to remove the steering wheel?

 

i was wondering the same thing

 

Aftermarket steering wheel and/or some sort of OEM wheel he found that fits/works?

 

time for an upgrade!

 

I'm hoping he got a hold of a 3 spoke Camry wheel and swapping it out

 

You have a spiral cable and steering angle sensor, I would suggest not removing it.

 

I am replacing the SR headlight stalk with Sr5 stalk that has a fog light switch.

 

Meh, I was on the right track haha

 

Close...

 

would it not just be a lot simpler to add the switch to the dash somewhere?

 

I don't know... However
1) I want to keep the factory look
2) I would have to run wire from the switch the lights

 

Removing a steering wheel is just as complicated as taking apart dash pieces and wiring a switch.

 

That's what I am trying to determine how complicated this process would be to replace the stalk. If its too complicated, I might just bite the bullet and pay stealership to do the swap

 

If it's anything like other cars that I've done, it would be similar if not the same as the 2nd gen posted up there.

Basic steps are:
Disconnect battery and let residual power drain
Remove air bag (screws, clips etc) to detach from wheel and its harness
Disconnect horn and other stalks like cruise etc
30mm ish socket to remove center nut
Remove wheel
BE CAREFUL of the clockspring (the wound metal flat wiring) that sets steering angle sensor and trac control. This cannot be turned or unwound. Keep it at same position as it was before. Should be located between wheel and steering column.
Install new stalk
Repeat in reverse

 

ok I get it. Have you checked in the SR thread? I know when I was considering one I saw a lot of info on mods in there.

 

Are you sure the steering wheel needs to be removed to replace the headlight switch? Just take off the clamshell and see if you can access the screws/clips

 

Ok thanks

 

I did but not much information available for the uninitiated
