How to Remove the Steering Wheel from a Renault Clio III

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Steering wheel

Let's see how to remove the steering wheel from a Renault Clio III: The first thing to do is disconnect the car battery and wait 10/15 minutes to avoid accidental airbag activation. Remove the side covers of the steering wheel: On the back of the steering wheel, there are two holes (on the right and left); insert a flat screwdriver into the holes and gently push the securing springs. This will slightly lift the airbag; disconnect the electrical connectors of the airbag and the horn. Mark the steering wheel and the steering column with a marker, so you can reassemble it straight. Unscrew the central nut and then remove it. Gently wiggle the steering wheel while pulling towards you, without hitting the steering column: you risk damaging it. For reassembly, clean the threads of the column, align the marks made earlier, then reinsert the steering wheel and tighten the nut to a torque of 40/50 Nm. Reconnect the airbag and battery.

As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
