How to Replace the Steering Wheel on a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Steering wheel

In this video tutorial, you will see how to replace the steering wheel on a Fiat Punto by following a few simple steps: the first thing to do is to purchase a new steering wheel to replace the damaged one. Disconnect the battery cables for safety (negative and positive terminals). Get inside the vehicle and using a 5 mm Allen key, unscrew the three screws located at the back of the steering wheel. Once the screws are removed, you can take out the airbag; now disconnect the airbag cable using a small flat-head screwdriver, lift the green connector, and then disconnect the horn cable as well. Remove the central cap to reveal the 24 mm nut, then take a 24 mm socket with a ratchet and unscrew this nut, holding the steering wheel steady while you do so. Once the nut is removed, pull the steering wheel towards you and pass the cables through the hole, being careful not to damage them during the process. Now proceed to replace the old steering wheel with the new one.
