In this Video I show you How the Replace the Steering Wheel in a C7 Corvette. My car is a 2014 C7 and 2014 and 2015 C7's came with a round Steering Wheel. I wanted the new style and so my wife Jennifer bought me one for Christmas, so I finally got a chance to install it.

Great video, just for anyone else out there with a 14-15 that want a flat bottom steering wheel, the 6th Generation Camaro uses the same steering wheel. A pretty good option and probably easier to find locally. Just took a little extra work to swap the silver trim/buttons over. If purchasing a used Camaro wheel some have a heated steering wheel. Not an option on a c7

Great help to change my steering wheel on my 2016 C7. The only step missing was how to transfer the attachments of the steering, my new carbon fiber steering came empty, without all the switches to control radio and shifters

Great Video, Scott. Wheel looks great. Im looking forward to doing mine. I got my car back from the body shop. They installed the Z06 front grill, for me, since they had to remove the front bumper, anyway. Part numbers in the description, would be nice. Im also seeing 23 ft lb for a torque spec. Part Number 11610164, if you want to replace the T50 Bolt in the wheel center. The new bolt is about $2.95 and thread lock comes on the new bolt, already.

Great job. Just a tip though, you don't have to wait that long after disconnecting battery. 2 minutes or so is fine. Test if system is discharged by pressing the brakes and working any of the switches on the dash to see if lights come on. That will discharge and residual charge in the capacitors.

Hi Victor, If you are changing out the original round wheel with the D shape factory wheel like I did in the video you dont need to change anything just replace the wheel. Everything will plug in. Now if you are wanting to change your original wheel to a different style wheel you will need to check with the vendor or manufacturer to see what you will need.

Future videos request: Can you do a how to replace the plastic paddles with metal ones such as the titanium ones (Part Number:12834) that are sold on CorvetteMods.com www.corvettemods.com/C7-Corvette-StingrayZ06Grand-Sport-2014-2019-Billet-AluminumTitanium-Paddle-Shifters_p_12834.html
