Clock Spring DIY

[petron5000]

About to do the Clock Spring, as my horn only works when the wheel is at an angle.

There's a Great DIY for Tundras here: DIY: Replace Clockspring/spiral cable + remove steering wheel | Toyota Tundra Forum


I can't find one here. Can someone who's done one confirm that this is similiar or the same?

Thanks!

Yep, that DIY looks fine and very straightforward. If you're more visual this video is also very good

His vids and approach to DIY is really well done, I always go down the rabbit hole watching them but end up learning a bunch.

I've swapped quite a few steering wheels and have never needed a steering wheel removal tool. Normally, just have to break the nut loose, back it off a little bit, and hit the steering wheel with both hands a few times.

Sometimes it helps, however usually a good bear hug and rocking will break them loose

I've done this with a 5th gen and 4th gen wheel....just a few taps with a rubber mallet usually loosened it up enough for a mild tug to do the rest.
