I watched this while in a junkyard yesterday to make sure I was on the right track. Thank you, Faye!

Your instructions are way better than even Toyota Time with Timmy

I absolutely love the way you patiently and pleasantly teach in your videos! You don't assume that we know stuff we might not know. That is very helpful. Thanks and keep going!

I love your videos on fixing cars its very well laid out. I have shown my ten year old daughter a few because she needs to see that men are not the only handy people of the human race. Keep it up pls your killing it!

Thanks for being so quick and to the point! Watched the first half of this while at the junkyard and really appreciated not having to scroll through a 25-minute video just to find out where the 3 bolts and two connectors were located to get the wheel off. You rock Faye!

I’m just gone say it she’s fine and knows her vehicles 😍😍

This was super helpful! Just put on my replacement a few hours ago thanks to your video, Faye. Thank you!

Wow it's been a long time since I've changed a steering wheel. I haven't changed one with an air bag, so good info for me. I recently bought a steering wheel puller on clearance at Sears. It's similar to this one, but doesn't have a case. I bought it because it looked like a good one and it was so cheap.

Awesome! I just changed mines with your help! Didn't even need a puller! Thank you so much!!

Thanks Faye - always love your vids. I'm working on a 2nd gen so it's a similar procedure. Wish you had a video on the high beams not working on the 2nd gens that can be restored with a quick filing of the combi switch terminals. Have a lovely day and wish you all the best!

Oh! Great idea! I'll look out for that one!

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of replacing my 2000 4Runner Limited's wheel with one from a Celica or RAV4 as I hear they will fit. I like the look of a 3 spoke better, too. Someone else did that swap but I think they had to change the pin configuration on the airbag plug. I'll have to research that more

You make great videos! Thanks for the hard work!!

I went to the junkyard and the 4runner was picked clean except for a very nice in tact leather steering wheel. Score.

Good Job ,,, you made it look like "Even a Caveman could do it "

I have watched some of your other videos by the way amazing an I have come across some that the comments have been turned off I'm sry you had to do that I just dont get some people

They sell the leather rewrap kits on Amazon. Probably about 10 times what you got the steering wheel for but hey you might end up wanting that

Thanks Faye!

Thank you !

Nice job

Thank you Faye. I have to change the one on a tacoma I bought. It's down to an all metal steering wheel just plain gross and dangerous.

Does the airbag fit both steering wheel covers and steering wheels? Wonder if this will work with Tacomas as well

I tried this on my 2000 4Runner.When driving straight down the road the steering wheel was slightly turned to the right.I moved it one spline tooth to the left and now it’s slightly turned to the left.What did I do wrong?

Hi Faye. Loving your channel since I discovered it. Was wondering. Is it the same process with a '91 4runner? Many thanks in advance if you see this and decide to reply. Happy New Year btw! 🙏

Are there any dangers with the airbag after you unplug the battery?

Just pulled a 4 spoke steering wheel from a third gen at a wrench apart here in Austin to replace my deteriorating 2 spoke… the airbag connector on the two are totally different. Did you have to replace a connector to swap to the two spoke or did yours just happen to have the same connector?

@@jakegerwig8798 Yes I did. I'm a tool guy so any chance to add to my arsenal I jump on, but I tried to pull off the used one I got at Pick-Your-Part but couldn't. Maybe because vehicle was in a wreck to end up at Pick-Your-Part? I did use it three times: One to remove from the donor vehicle. Two to remove my bent wheel from my vehicle. Three to remove the new wheel from my vehicle and reinstall because I put it on crooked the first time. Maybe I could of tried prying the donor vehicle wheel off with a big flat head or something but the whole steering column was disconnected from the dash and almost floating loose so when I pulled on the wheel, the whole column moved. Basically no resistance to focus just on the wheel. I didn't want to pry on my vehicle. FYI my airbag connector was a little different than hers. It disconnected differently but still worked.

Faye Hadley thank you for replying, Faye! I have a 1999 Lexus es300 with tan interior and the steering wheel is about as bad as your old 4-runner one. I found a beautiful black steering wheel with wood on top and bottom for $80 on EBay. Do you think it will look ok to have a tan center horn and black steering wheel? Thanks. Also, when I brake, the steering wheel shakes. The harder I brake the more violently the steering wheel shakes. My breaks and rotors were replaced two years ago along with bushings in the rack and pinion. I recently replaced sway bar links. The steering wheel does have a lot of play in it (I have to turn it a lot more to make the car go where I want it to). I have 280,000 miles on the car. What parts do I need to check to diagnose this problem? Apparently, steering wheel shaking is one of the hardest things to diagnose. Thank you so much and sorry for the long message.!

John Nellis So the airbag doesn’t have power. Just a safety precaution that everyone should practice when working anything electric on a vehicle. You’d hate to have your airbag deploy while holding something in front of your face.

Sorry you keep having to turn off comments. I started out learning about cars from the Idiot book on VWs. I so loved working on air cooled VWs. Later got an air cooled BMW /7 motorcycle and the valve adjustment was identical to the VW. So easy.
