Steering Wheel? '88 Hactch

How do you take out the steering wheel in an '88 civic hatch back, i want to replace it with a grant or something like that.

POP OUT THE "H" AND USE I THINK A 18mm OR 20mm AND A LONG EXTENSION TO TAKE IT OUT.......BUT DON'T BE LIKE ME.....I DID IT AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I CANNOT IT GET BACK STRAIGHT....IF SOMEONE KNOWS HOW....HELP

i got something to add onto this, my horn doesnt work for my car and i need it for the car to pass safety, how can I fix that when the wheels off?? mines an 89 std hatch

I HAD A PROBLEM WHEN MY HORN KEPT COMING ON....REASON FOR THE STEERING WHEEL PROBLEM...IF YOU TAKE YOUR STEERING WHEEL OFF AND REMOVE OUR WIPER AND LIGHTS THING YOU WILL SEE A KINDA LOND METAL STRIP...BEND IT UP A LITTLE AND REPLACE EVERYTHING...IF IT STILL DOESN'T WORK AFTER THAT...YOU MAY WANT TO GO TO THE JUNK YARD AND RELACE THAT WHOLE WIPER AND LIGHTS THING...IT FIXED MY PROBLEM....I'M SURE SOMEONE ELSE UP HERE CAN GIVE YOU SOME OTHER THINGS TO TRY FIRST

alright thanx alot for the advice:sun: i'll try it soon when everythings back together

Before you take the steering wheel off make sure your wheels are pointed straight forwards......than take the steering wheel off and put the new one on, making sure that it is centered....if you find that it is off a little just take it off and adjust it one notch at a time until it is in the right position.

THAT'S JUST COMMON SENSE...TO BAD IT'S NOT THAT COMMON..AT LEAST FOR ME ANYWAYS B/C I DIDN'T THINK TO DO THAT
:bloated:

Common sense isn't very common some times.....but that does work....I had to adjust my Grant wheel a couple of times before it is in the right position, but if you just do it one notch at a time youll get it right eventually

HEY ANOTHER DJ!!!! what do you spin bro? i spin "dark roller" druim and bass

I have an Si, but i'm sure it's about the same. There should be screws that are on the back of the wheel. Remove those and the horn cover should come off. I think it is an 18mm deep socket that you use to get the nut off, but i forgot.

PLZ DUDE EVERY POST YOU HAVE IS ALL IN CAPS
STOP IT
ITS PROVEN THAT NON CAPITAL LETTERS ARE EASIER TO READ, TO THIS SHIT WILL GET YOU LESS ATTENTION!!!
STOP IT

That's what I remember when I replaced my stock wheel. I hated the thing. Plastic steerin gwheels suck. I love the Momo Monte Carlo I have instead (although I've worn the finish off it in 90k miles) and you wouldn't notice it's aftermarket unless you knew.
