  • Learn how to change your steering wheel so you can remove your old steering wheel and replace it with a quick release steering wheel. In this video I show you how to remove the airbag and steering wheel and install a Momo steering hub, an NRG quick release hub and a racing steering wheel with push buttons for the horn and radio.
    Thanks @ThatDudeinBlue for sharing your dangerous steering wheel footage!

    Long story short I've owned 2 other n15 pulsars, this one was my partners car and luckily it was the only model with a airbag.
    She was run off the road at 100kmh into a massive tree. The importance of a air bag is what kept her here today. She still has another month before being able to walk again but she's still here... it's not worth pulling a airbag out people!!

    The fact that I was obsessed with quick release wheels and how they can possibly stop car theft (perfect for where I live) and just a 2 minute talk about how you can have a custom wheel that is safe and how the quick release may look cool until your possibly in a wheel chair because you wanted to “look cool” really made me think. and for a bit I was thinking “but everyone dose it and is okay” but when I really thought about how my luck I could end up dead or paralyzed just because I thought it looked cool and was trendy and for some reason whenever I see one I get that thought of crashing or extreme anxiety and like a bad feeling from it, I still love the way they look and I come across some ones that have amazing designs but this short talk about the hazards that Chris did is burned into my head and I don’t even know how to thank him for that, even tho there’s the highs and lows of me getting in a crash if I’m driving completely safe im just glad that Chris brought the custom OEM wheels to light for me, i would damn well rather spend a few hundred more for a safe wheel then to even think about how my daughter or wife would feel or even get hurt all because I made a dumb decision to switch steering wheels all because “the designs look cool”. Anyway im sorry for pouring my heart out on a comment that should of stayed simple but I’m just thankful for Chris always helping me fix me car and stay safe😂🙏🏽

    19:53: Both steering wheels turn the car the same amount per-degree. Since with the larger wheel, your hands are further from the center, you have to move your hands a greater distance to turn said degrees. The only way the smaller steering wheel would turn the car more per-degre is if it somehow modifies the steering mechanism.

    • @samhiggs5155
      @samhiggs5155 Před rokem +6

    Great video as always!
    I have a small critique about the steering sensitivity terms you used, though. You mentioned that the degrees you turn a smaller wheel will effect the car more than a larger wheel, but I think the degrees turned for small or large would have the same effect. It’s the arc length that your hand would have to move to achieve that degree of turn that will change. So with a larger wheel your hand moves further per degree of rotation since it has a larger perimeter and a longer lever. The longer lever makes it easier to turn the wheel as you mentioned.

    One more tip when you remove the steering wheel: when you remove it and you have to pull pretty hard on it, when it’s free and you are still pulling on it, you could hit yourself with the steering wheel, to prevent that, you could screw the bolt back in a few threads so when it’s free it won’t hit you

    I wanted to point out, that, the bigger the steering wheel, the distance it turns in 1 degree is the same, what actualy changes, is the distance your hand needs to move to turn the same distance.
    That's because 1 degree is 1/360 of the wheels outter edge, if the outter edge is bigger, each section will get bigger accordingly to fill the whole 360 degrees, but it's still going to be 1/360, you just have to move your hand a longer distance. I loved this video, thank you, Chris!

    At 23:36 you could likely utilize the vehicle's internal wiring to the clockspring that were meant for stock steering wheel buttons so you don't have to use an external coil cord wire. You'd just need to get a quick release adapter that has another electrical contact. Actually, you could use the quick release you already have and use the two contacts of the quick release for horn and button and use the body as a common ground. Just like that: Wireless Steering Wheel.
    If you wanted to get real real fancy you could have a microcontroller embedded in the steering wheel that that uses only a few conductors to talk to another microcontroller on the car side that will allow you to have many different controls on the wheel with only a few conductors through the quick release.

    Awesome video, Chris! The only (safety) tip I would add is to not completely remove the center bolt. In case the steering wheel is a bit more stuck, the bolt will prevent the steering wheel from smacking you in the face if and when you yank it off without a puller. But now I've learned even more from this video, thanks!
