CUST STATES STEERING WHEEL TRIM MATERIAL PEELING OFF. FOUND STEERING WHEEL LID DISTORTED REPLACED STEERING WHEEL LID PARTS: LID-STEERING WHEEL, R-48463-JK07A - $9.77 LABOR: .6 HOURS - $64.71 |
I have a small problem when i tried changing my steering wheel trim. I stripped the torx screw when i first started and couldnt even get it off. Any help will be appreciated.

Just ordered mine. Got so tired of looking at the scratches. Looking forward to changing it out. thanks.

So considering this DIY, arent there a few steps that are missing? Like how the airbag assembly and steering wheel actually comes off? I just ordered my bezel so I would love to know so I dont F it up.
Thanks! |

Thanks! One tip I have is to use a Sharpie and mark the large nut holding the steering wheel so you know where to re-torque the nut to during the re-installation. You don't need to do this but in case you are a stickler for perfection and you don't have a torque wrench. |
Awesome thanks. I completed the DIY, but now my airbag light is flashing. I took the air bag back off, checked all connections and everything looks good. Would this have anything to do with the clock spring? Any input would definitely help!

Yeah I figured it out. Resetting the flashing airbag light is pretty damn easy. Also, before you put the steering wheel back together, make sure the wheel is perfectly aligned in response to the front wheels position. I ended up pulling the steering wheel off multiple times in order to get it set accordingly. Even though its an easy DIY, its still annoying having to pull the entire assembly apart consistently. But regardless, I finally got everything lined up and the new bezel looks great.

A+ man!!! thanks so much for the write up. I wouldn't have been able to do this without it!
As for the above post and lining up the wheel, there is a dash/mark/indicator on the wheel and on the steering bolt. all you have to do is line up the marks and it'll be straight every time. |
Oh really? Crap, I must have over looked that! Thanks I'll keep that in mind for next time!
|
The other thing I forgot to mention: The Torx bit is TT37.

Is this part number still valid? Plugging it in at orderinfinitparts.com gives me a price of $75.02 which seems way off based on the other prices in this thread. I have the same scratched up trim piece and would like to replace it if possible.

Wow :eek3: that's insane markup, similar to the IPL bumpers when they realized there was a demand.. I'm so glad I didn't hesitate to do this. I could not believe it when you posted it but I just verified it's $75 for the same trim I ordered 2 months ago for $9..

Yikes at that price increase! Anyway, thanks for verifying that for me.
