hey i just got my evo steering wheel. i wanna install it myself- dont feel like paying 75 bucks for a shop to do it. for those who swapped it themselves, did u guys need a wheel puller to take the wheel off or does it just come off with a little force? never done this before... is this something really hard to do or should i just go to the shop?

 

There is a thread on this in the "how to" section.

 

i know that, but it doesnt say anything if i need a puller or not. people are saying i do, some say i dont. just wanna know for sure before i do it thats all.

 

No you don't once you pull the Screw all the way out it will slide off.

 

Just loosen the hex bolt until it slides freely and turn the wheel until you hear it fall clear of the steering hub. Then carefully turn the wheel back making sure it's nice and straight and just pull the wheel straight off. You may have to hit it gently, but it comes off quite easy.

Don't forget to unplug everything first!!!

 

thanks, i've seen your car in the registry... didnt know u had an evo steering wheel in it.

 

hey, i didnt want to start a new thread on this, but i've finished installing the wheel and it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be. quick question: does your horn rattle when you drive? its like the thing is loose and i dont think thats how its suppose to be. the rattling is starting to **** me off. i want to return the wheel

 

it may just be that a wire that connects to the horn is not wedged into place this should be an easy fix but may mean you pulling it off again and securing it

 

Maybe your cruise control wire is making the sound? Hmmm... don't know, mine's fine.

 

cruise control wire? i cant see that being the problem because i can actually see the horn bouncing up and down when i'm driving. i'm not saying that couldnt be it as i will check, but i highly doubt it. anyways, does anybody need a stock lancer steering wheel because i got one for sale. its in perfect condition. pm if your interested.

 

...anybody want a stock steering wheel? got one for sale...

 

Sorry, I misunderstood your post... my horn is fine, no rattles. Your wheel still has the airbag right?
