2012-2015 Honda Civic Steering Wheel Replacement

[@ericryckman1559]

Saying the size and head type of the botls would be really helpful. The same goes for the types of electrical connectors to help people avoid breaking them. The bolts on the side for mine had T-27 Torx heads. You can use a screwdriver to pop off the bottom cover. The black electrical connector for the horn has a push clip that you may need a flathead screwdriver the depress and them pull the connector off. The yellow connector needs to be popped just out of the housing clip and then the black tab just slides back away from the other connector to come off easily. The center bolt on the steering wheel has 14mm hex head (normal sockets).

Hi. Great video. Have a question… Which kind of drill and which tools do I have to buy in order to pull out the center bolt of the steering wheel?? Thanks.

[@johnmessina6317]

Thanks very useful !!!

[@maverickperson5443]

Really good video - am unable to reset maintenance and oil reset as the down arrow on the steering wheel left side is not working. Appreciate any guidance or work around so can reset maintenance reminders?

[@thehondatechnician]

Glad it helped

Do you know where can I buy the steering wheel replacement for this same car. I have a Honda Civic LX 2013. Thanks

[@thehondatechnician]

You can go to your local dealership they should still be available to order. But if not eBay or junk yards should sell them usually with out the air bag for liability

[@manuelfajardojr8379]

Or your local lkq junk yard

If I disable the negative terminal & be as careful as you I don’t see a problem right ? It can’t go off if battery is disconnected right ? Thanks

[@thehondatechnician]

it shouldnt, after disconnecting the battery i would wait about 10 minutes to allow everything to discharge just to be on the safe side but there is always a chance something can go wrong even with all the precautions taken

@@thehondatechnician I did the install perfectly because of you! Thanks bro

[@johnmessina6317]

Where do you buy the steering wheel ?

[@elliesattler]

I need to replace the left volume control. Is it possible to replace without completely removing the steering wheel? I wasn't able to see how its attached to the lower silver plastic trim piece from the video.

[@thehondatechnician]

I can’t remember exactly but I believe you need to remove it because it is held in by a screw

[@manuelfajardojr8379]

You have to remove it to get those removed

[@elliesattler]

@@manuelfajardojr8379 thank you!

[@kjmaxwell2749]

What did you torque the bolts to

[@thehondatechnician]

Steering wheel bolt is 29ft.lbs and air bag side bolts are 6.9ft.lbs

[@WenjinChen-db3cb]

If I don't have a load-bearing gauge tools, can I tighten it casually?@@thehondatechnician

[@kellybernard3843]

Is that covered under warranty?

[@thehondatechnician]

No it was replaced due to it being worn

[@kieranmorris4517]

Good video... apart from the only fiddly bit is removing the air bag and you skipped that part....

[@thehondatechnician]

True. Best explanation I have is If you have the steering straight if you look to the left and right side behind the steering wheel buttons you’ll see a hole in there you’ll find a T30 torx screw that’s what holds the airbag in place Disclaimer: The purpose of this video is for informative and educational purposes of my procedures and experiences.

@@thehondatechnician Should the wheel feel impossible to come off once everything is loose? How do you remove it once all is unblocked any technique?

[@JohnBotero-e1o]

I just remove the trim part thats messed up without taking all that crap out. I have a 2013 civic. With a trim tooland start prying . Theres also a filler which is used to cover all imperfections and the areas where is all "chewed up" around steering wheel. I did this and worked fine, at least on my car....
