Removal: 1) First make sure that no current flows into the on-board network, this is done very easily, take a wrench and loosen the minus terminal and then remove it from the battery, as soon as the operation is completed, remove the steering column cover (see article: “ Replacing the casing on a VAZ 2109", they are all removed in the same way) and then proceed to remove the protective pad, to do this, pick up the flat central part of the steering wheel with a screwdriver (see photo below) and unscrew a couple of screws with a Phillips screwdriver that secure the protective pad and remove it from the steering wheel, as shown in the small photo.
2) Now special. you will need a head and a wrench to put this head on or an extension, use the wrench to unscrew the central nut securing the steering wheel, but don’t turn it out completely, make sure that the nut remains seated directly on the last thread, then take the steering wheel from its back with your hands , pull it towards you and jerk it off its seat, be careful with the nut, because if you unscrew it too much, it may fly off and injure you.
Note! If the nut is turned out correctly, then the steering wheel will only have to fall off its seat, then this nut is unscrewed completely and the steering wheel, together with the nut, is carefully removed from the steering shaft of the car!
3) But not in all cases it is possible to pull off the steering wheel, sometimes it sits so tightly that even two people cannot move it from the steering shaft. If this happens to you, then take a hammer and a drift made of soft metal, and also resort to help assistant, it is much more convenient for two people to do this work, your actions and the actions of the assistant: Apply a drift to the steering shaft and start hitting it with a hammer, and the second person at this time will have to pull the steering wheel towards himself, you can sharply pull it towards you, he should will be torn off the steering shaft by such actions.
Note! The steering wheel in the rear part has a contact ring for the horn, as well as a turn-off pin. If the steering wheel you purchased does not have this ring or has no base at all, then in this case, move it all, the contact ring is secured with three screws (see . photo 1), by unscrewing which it will be possible to remove it (see photo 2), then you will need to remove the rotation pin from the base or just make sure that it does not get lost, if you only need a ring, the pin comes with a spring (see photo 3) and finally, grab the base and disconnect it from the steering wheel, having previously disconnected the wire block from the terminal (see photo 4)!
Installation: The steering wheel is installed in the reverse order of removal, during installation most often a problem occurs with the steering wheel fastening nut, it can simply fall, so that this does not happen and the nut in the head sits well, take the wire and expose it, and fix it with the metal part a nut to prevent it from falling, as shown in the photo below, after installing the steering wheel, make sure that there is no play in the back or front and make sure that it sits well.

The reasons why the steering wheel needs to be removed from a VAZ-2110 car can be varied, for example, it needs to be reupholstered, repaired, replaced with a new one, and much more. It must be said right away that such work is not entirely easy, but, nevertheless, doing it yourself, without contacting a car service, is possible and even useful. After all, knowledge and skills are never superfluous. Before starting work, you must purchase all the required tools, and also strictly follow the instructions, otherwise you can damage the steering column, and then you will not be able to do without repairs at a service station.

So how to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ-2110? In general, there are no particular difficulties here, even if the dismantling is carried out by a beginner. The point is rather that some drivers like to simplify or bypass certain actions during repair/replacement, and this is fraught with consequences.
So, let's begin.
Installation Rules
Installing the steering wheel is a dismantling process in reverse order. If you can handle the removal, then you will be able to install it.
- Installation begins by transferring the mark from the old steering wheel to the new one. Be extremely precise: the correctness of further control of the machine depends on this. The mark on the new part should be exactly in the same place as on the previous one.
- Put the steering wheel back in place. Make sure that the mark on it and on the front panel match the same as in the case of the old part.
- Replace the central nut and tighten it. If it does not fit tightly in the socket head, insert the wire strands between them. When the nut is in place, remove the wires and secure the nut tightly.
- Replace the steering wheel cover and tighten all screws.
- Make sure the steering wheel is straight. If even a slight displacement is observed, the part will have to be reinstalled.
- Replace the battery terminals and test your new steering wheel by driving it away from major roads. At first, its diameter may be unusual, but the ease of driving should remain the same.
In what cases is it necessary to remove the steering wheel, and what tools are required for this?
Despite the fact that the steering wheel is perhaps the most reliable element in VAZ cars, sometimes it needs repair or replacement, for example:
- when faults are noticed in the steering wheel;
- if the driver wants to replace the steering wheel with a new model;
- when the appearance of the old steering wheel no longer suits the owner and a new one is needed.
Malfunctions can occur due to the fact that the splines are worn out and backlash has occurred, and, as a result, the car reacts poorly to the driver’s actions. In this case, it is best to replace the steering wheel with a new one or a completely different model.
If the reason for the replacement is appearance, then you can either replace the steering wheel, or buy a cover for the existing one.
Also, sometimes the steering wheel must be removed if individual elements need to be repaired. For example, to work with the dashboard, or if the steering column needs to be repaired.
Steering wheel removal tools:
- flat and Phillips screwdrivers;
- socket head 24;
- extension;
- ratchet handle/knob.
When everything you need is at hand, you can start.
How to return the sound signal yourself
If the steering wheel needed to be removed because the sound signal stopped working, then the removal process is carried out in the same sequence as previously described. Next you will need to do the following:
- Be sure to check the steering play, which should not exceed 5 C, and the copper contact of the horn. The contact is located on the steering column; if traces of oxidation or other types of contaminants are noticed on its surface, they are carefully removed;
- Next, the connecting fasteners on the back of the steering wheel are unscrewed so that the entire panel assembly can be removed, including the contact plate;
- The removed steering wheel with the panel should be placed on a table or workbench to find the failed contact. The latter is most often the main reason why the sound signal disappears;
- if the contact is disconnected, you just need to solder it back to its original place and install the panel with the steering wheel.
Instructions
- To begin, dismantle the cover, under which are located the screws holding the signal cover.
- Then, using a Phillips screwdriver, you need to unscrew the steering signal cover.
- The next step, after the cover is removed and access to the steering wheel mount is gained, is to unscrew the nut that directly holds it all in place. To do this, use a 24mm screwdriver and a wrench. But before you start unscrewing the nut, you should turn the steering wheel to the right until it locks. This will make it easier to do.
- After the nut has been unscrewed, the steering wheel of the VAZ-2110 is dismantled. Before removing the steering wheel, its position must be set exactly in the center. To do this, you should set the steering wheel level, and then, guided by the factory mark, place yours on the steering column housing. You can, of course, do without marks, but thanks to them, the process of installing the steering wheel will become easier and faster.
- Next, you need to disconnect the signal power wire, after which you can remove the steering wheel.
- Taking the steering wheel with both hands, you need to remove it from the grooves (if it does not come off the first time, just apply a little force). To make the task easier, lightly hit the edges of the steering wheel and at the same time pull it towards you.
What else is worth knowing
To simplify the process of removing the steering wheel, especially if the element cannot be removed from its permanent place for a long time, you can hit the area a little so that the pressure is applied to the edge of the steering wheel.
It is best to use an assistant when performing this work, who will begin to pull out the part while the car owner lightly taps on it. After the cause of the breakdown has been eliminated, you need to reassemble the steering wheel in the reverse order. Before assembling the structure, the switch should be turned so that the hub pin engages with the connecting groove. A correctly rotated wheel will help automatically return the switch to the correct position, thereby simplifying the installation of the entire structure.
The information provided, we hope, will help simplify both the removal and assembly of the steering wheel on the VAZ-2110, so that the car owner can do all the work himself. And if difficulties still arise during the process, you can watch an additional video with instructions.
All about the VAZ steering wheel
Replacing the steering wheel of a VAZ 2110
First of all, you need to understand this important truth: the safest steering wheel is the one that was initially installed on the vehicle by the manufacturer. It was developed specifically for a specific car model, passed the necessary tests and is in accordance with current regulations. However, the design of the standard VAZ 2110 steering wheel is not to the taste of many and leaves much to be desired: the rim is very thin, there is no comfort and convenience when hands touch its surface, it is smooth, cold to the touch in winter and slips in the hands in summer. Therefore, car owners quite often think about replacing the standard steering wheel with a steering wheel from a different manufacturer, purchased in a specialized store. Also, the need to replace the steering wheel may arise due to the appearance of abrasions on the top, if there is a need to repair the sound signal.
Note. It should be remembered that, despite the large assortment of steering wheel models offered, quite often they are questionable in terms of safety and quality.
VAZ 2110 steering wheel removal
It should also be remembered that, according to the current rules, replacing the steering wheel of a vehicle is actually considered making changes to its design.
Of course, you can put different covers and leather, rubber or fur braids on the wheel, but it’s still not always possible to get a comfortable steering wheel this way.
When will dismantling be required?
First, you need to figure out in what cases it is necessary to remove the steering wheel. This will allow you to orient yourself in advance and prepare everything you need. It's worth noting that there are actually few reasons for doing this. This is probably the most reliable design element of VAZ cars. But such work may still be required.
First of all, the steering wheel must be removed if it is replaced. It is changed in the following cases:
- Malfunction;
Also, drivers often decide to replace the steering wheel due to loss of appearance. The reason is constant contact with the hands of the person driving the vehicle. Therefore, over time, the casing wears off, and not all drivers use the braid. In such a situation, the best solution would be to simply change the steering wheel or buy a steering wheel cover.
Another option is to replace it with another model. Essentially this is tuning, and we will consider this issue separately.
It is also often necessary to remove the steering wheel in connection with the repair of certain parts. The steering wheel is removed if it interferes with operation. For example, drivers often prefer to remove it when working on the dashboard. You will also need to remove this part when repairing the steering column.
Choosing a steering wheel is a responsible matter

So:
- In the process of choosing a suitable steering wheel, you should take into account that a small steering wheel on a car without a VAZ power steering or rack will be much heavier, and a steering wheel with a larger diameter will be much more convenient to turn.
Note. The height of the driver should also be taken into account; for example, drivers with long legs may rest their knees on the large steering wheel while shifting the throttle or shifting the clutch.
Note. This is very important, since the further ease of use of the selected steering wheel will depend on this.
Replacing a car steering wheel with a steering wheel with a modified design may lead to some changes regarding the ergonomics of the driver's workplace. In addition, the force on the steering wheel also changes, which to some extent causes violations of passive safety in the car.

For each steering wheel, factory standards apply, according to which the permissible force on them and the resistance that the structure itself can withstand are determined . That is why, if you plan to replace the steering wheel, it is recommended to give preference to a traditional steering wheel with additional braiding made of materials that provide higher reliability of contact with the surface of the steering wheel rim. The procedure will require the following materials and tools:
- Phillips screwdriver;
- Head “24”;
- New steering wheel;
- A piece of wire or wire;
- Chalk, marker or something else for marking.
Removing the steering wheel
Replacing a steering wheel is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. In the process of replacing the steering wheel, it is first removed. This procedure is carried out in the following order:
Note. Before carrying out work, do not forget to remove the key from the ignition switch.
- First, the car must be installed on an inspection ditch or lift;
- Then the hood of the car is lifted and the terminal of the “negative” wire is disconnected from the battery terminal;
Note. The disconnection of the terminal is due to the fact that there are electrical connections in the steering wheel. By turning off the power, you can prevent short circuits and unwanted connections between electrical wires.
- After this, the car’s wheels are turned to the left or right;
Note. The steering wheel is turned until the device is activated, which locks the steering shaft.
- Markings are applied to the steering wheel and dashboard;
- Then the seven screws securing the steering column casings are unscrewed and the lower steering column casing is removed;
- By unlocking the steering column adjustment lever, the column moves down. After this, moving up reveals the upper steering column casing;
Steering wheel disassembly
- Using a screwdriver, pry up the cover plate of the signal switch and remove it;
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that hold the horn button and remove the cover;
- Using a 24mm socket, the nut that secures the steering wheel to several threaded screws is unscrewed so that it can move;
- With rocking, the steering wheel is pulled along the shaft splines.
Note. If the steering wheel cannot be moved by hand, an assistant may be required. One needs to pull the steering wheel towards himself, and the second one needs to strike the end of the steering shaft with a hammer through a drift made of soft material.
- Before finally removing the steering wheel, you should remember, or better yet, mark its position relative to the shaft, as well as the position of the turn signal switch in relation to the plastic ring;
- After unscrewing the nut, the steering wheel is removed;
- After aligning the two wheels, the mark is transferred from the removed steering wheel to the new one that is planned to be installed.
Installation of a new steering wheel
Installation
Installing a new steering wheel is performed in the reverse order of removal:
- During the installation process, the steering column switch is set to the neutral position, after which installation can be carried out.
Note. To prevent the nut that secures the steering wheel from falling out of the head during installation on the shaft, a wire or several strands of wire of the required diameter are inserted between the head and the nut.
- After tightening the nut, the head is removed and the wire is removed, after which the nut is tightened.
- Also, when installing the steering wheel, you should turn the turn signal switch ring so that the pin on the hub fits into the groove of the ring (the ring returns the turn signal switch to its initial position when the car exits a turn).
- Then the negative wire is connected to the battery, the functionality of the sound signal and the steering column switch is checked.
Examination
Checking the newly installed VAZ 2110 steering wheel
- After all the necessary work has been carried out, it is necessary to check the correctness of its implementation. To do this, the wheels are installed in a level position. If, in this position of the wheels, the steering wheel is not skewed and is in a strict central position, without shifting to the side, then the installation was carried out correctly.
- In the case when the steering wheel spokes are located asymmetrically while the vehicle is moving directly on a flat horizontal platform, it is necessary to stop the car in this position, remove the steering wheel and install it correctly, then again check the accuracy of the installation while driving.
Checking the installation is a mandatory procedure, because there are cases when the steering wheel falls off while the car is moving.
- During the first week after replacing the steering wheel, it is not recommended to drive at high speed while getting used to the new steering wheel; this is especially important to consider in parking lots. This is also necessary in order to learn how to well determine the angle of rotation and the maneuverable response of the machine.
- Before you decide to replace the steering wheel, you should think carefully about whether it is necessary. Currently, many technologies and materials are used, there are various companies offering a variety of services in order to improve the car and make it more convenient and comfortable.
