For the Lexus IS I would suggest disconnecting the bottom wires too. I watched the video and left the bottom attached and that it was actually connected with the clock spring and the clock spring came off with the steering wheel. Better to be safe and not end up in my situation

Thanks for making this video, the 3 clips to remove the air bag are actually hard to see (video helped for this!) For anyone doing this on a 2017 Lexus IS, a few things to note: - MARK the center of the wheel BEFORE removing it, that way you'll get it centered once you have to put it back on - Do not remove the 19mm bolt entirely (leave it close to the wheel, that way when you pull, it can't go too far, therefore not damaging the clock spring), not all steering wheels will come off easily like in this video, so you have to use force. - Hit the wheel in any order (top, bottom, left, right), you don't have to hit it clockwise/counter clockwise - If you have lane assist / radar cruise control / heated steering, you'll have an extra wire to disconnect on the wheel itself (left module)

Another timeless instruction video for RCF owners. Your contributions to RCF fans/owners is priceless!

Thanks for the tutorial - this is exactly what I needed to help me install my DCT Motorsports steering wheel that arrives next month!

I was actually thinking about swapping my steering wheel and then this video came out, how convenient Bro!!!

Dude this is the damn video somebody and I mean somebody should have made a LONG TIME AGO. Thanks Barry. Wish I seen this before I damaged my clock spring. Luckily Lexus was able to fix it under warranty for me!

Just to add on this, it's better not to completely remove the middle(main) bolt and just leave it loosely connected. This will prevent you from pulling the steering wheel completely out thus eliminating the possibility of destroying that $1000 ribbon cable.

Thank you for posting this tutorial! Super helpful. 🙏👍

Thank you very much. I been waiting for someone to make a DIY video on changing out the steering wheel. Now I can order one 👌, like always great content.

Excellent work, thanks so much!

thanks for the video! i have a carbon fiber steering wheel on my wishlist so this will be handy when the time comes to get it

Good job! Great vid twin..👍🏾

Where did you get the carbon clock trim from? Great video and thanks for the content!

great vid. when i did mine i found it easier to leave the bolt still threaded when pulling off the steering wheel while hitting it around all the edges like you mentioned.

My 2014 is350 not have the heated steering wheel how hard will be to add that option? Thanks

Great vid. Thanks brother

Thank you man! Can I ask, what is that type of spanner setup you used on the battery terminal? Looks handy!!

I found what looks like a ring scratch in the leather after I took purchase of a 2023 IS F SPORT. The dealership wants to repair it but I don’t think it’s repairable and may just replace the steering wheel and may do it myself if they don’t make things right. So thanks for this video! I would think this soft leather gets damaged a lot.

When you reinstalled the airbag assembly, did you have to push the pins back in or do they snap in place? Do you have to tongue the 19mm bolt? Thanks. Great video

thanks i will need to know this in the future if i ever get a wheel

any other tips on taking out the steering wheel? I've been hitting it like you mentioned and pulling it left and right but it won't budge

Just put mine on, excellent video

Good job 👏🏼.. We need video how we remove front and back seats pls

Quick question. Can I know your fire extinguisher brace brand? And extinguisher brand? Do you have road record camera and which brand are you using? Thanks

Followed steps but can’t get the new wheels properly aligned..adjusted it perfectly but wheels always go left..seller told me I have to get wheel alignment or adjust wheel toe? Did u have any problems ?

How far apart are the splines? I feel my steering wheels a little too far to the right when driving, but I can't seem to find another spline that's not too far to the left

Can I put the rc steering wheel in my 2004 gs300?

I took of my steering wheel 4 times now. I broke the clock spring twice (i was able to fix it because no cables or anything broke). Best advice is to just loosen the steering nut don't take it off but unscrew it like 2mm. Then when you take it off the initial jerk movement is only 2mm. That way you can gently remove it after that.

Going to use this to install my elvin_6188 carbon fiber steering wheel

Any chance you removed the clock spring to get to the stalk switch ?

Keep up the videos bro🙌🏼 can you do a video on how to properly clean red leather seat. I have red leather seats on my car.

I just replaced my lexus RX steering wheel and it doesnt looks feel or look straight. i wish lexus marked their wheels with an arrow like the BMW wheels so its always dead centered.

so if you disconnect the battery on any car while changing the steering wheel, its safe to assume the air bag wont pop out

The horn on my is 250 wont work it works when it whants, any idea on what i have to mess with behind the airbag.

Where did you get this steering wheel from?

The car got reset right? Removing the terminal.

wait, did you seriously put your tools on the leather seat???

My wheel is slightly off center 😮😢

They do “Rent”, and sell Steering-Wheel Pullers - it’s not worth damaging the Clock-Spring…

U can’t get electrocuted with low voltage, idk why u where scared to touch the battery lol.
