In general, there is nothing complicated
. But you still have to tinker a little, because the steering wheel fastening is quite reliable and ensures its full functionality in any conditions.

When will dismantling be required?

First, you need to figure out in what cases it is necessary to remove the steering wheel. This will allow you to orient yourself in advance and prepare everything you need. It's worth noting that there are actually few reasons for doing this. This is probably the most reliable design element of VAZ cars. But such work may still be required.

First of all, the steering wheel must be removed if it is replaced. It is changed in the following cases:

Malfunction;

Also, drivers often decide to replace the steering wheel due to loss of appearance. The reason is constant contact with the hands of the person driving the vehicle. Therefore, over time, the casing wears off, and not all drivers use the braid. In such a situation, the best solution would be to simply change the steering wheel or buy a steering wheel cover.

Another option is to replace it with another model. Essentially this is tuning, and we will consider this issue separately.

It is also often necessary to remove the steering wheel in connection with the repair of certain parts. The steering wheel is removed if it interferes with operation. For example, drivers often prefer to remove it when working on the dashboard. You will also need to remove this part when repairing the steering column.

Reasons that lead to rapid wear of the steering wheel

Replacing the steering wheel and removing the steering wheel

The process of replacing the steering block can be considered complete. In order to avoid the need to replace this part in the future, you need to know the causes of the steering column malfunction and try to prevent them. Among the reasons are the following:

Creaking in the steering column. The cause of the squeak may be wear of the elements, malfunction of parts of the steering column joystick unit, or deformation of the facing panels;
Play in the steering column is a more serious sign. Play in the steering wheel area may indicate that the spline joints are loose.

With a competent approach and high-quality installation of all elements, the steering column can last quite a long time without replacement. Loosening of the nuts and bolts of the connections can cause free play, and over time, abrasion of the splines. As a result, the column fails precisely because the connections cannot function correctly. This video will help you do everything correctly.

Which steering wheel should you choose?

If you decide to replace the steering wheel, then you need to decide what part you need to purchase. It is worth noting here that for this car, in addition to the standard ones, sports parts are also offered. The sports steering wheel has a smaller diameter. It also has special metal linings that perform a decorative function. Please note that you will have to get used to the small disassembly of the steering wheel for some time.

It is also possible to select a steering wheel from another model. For example, we may be talking about a part intended for Lada Kalina, in which case there will be no problems with installation. There are also other suitable analogues. When choosing, pay attention to the size of the splines; the depth of seating of the steering wheel on the column is also important.

You should choose a steering wheel to replace based on your preferences.

You should be comfortable, in which case you will not experience any problems during the management process. It is also worth considering some legal requirements. Some types of steering wheels cannot be installed, as you will not be able to pass a technical inspection. Be sure to take these nuances into account.

Basic faults

Most often, the rod, seals, and, less often, the slider wear out in the dozen. For this reason, knocking occurs in the suspension, which is transmitted to the steering wheel. Wear on ball joints can also result in knocking noises.
It also happens that the unit begins to leak, if we talk about hydraulics. Leaks are indicated by oil stains that invariably remain on the asphalt after a long period of parking.
Another most common malfunction is the so-called tight steering wheel. It also happens that the steering wheel turns only in one direction, this is a symptom of a serious defect in the component parts.

But why does the steering rack fail? As a rule, such problems come to reckless drivers, lovers of high speeds and bad roads.

Sharp braking, contact with holes and potholes, as well as wear on the boots and dirt getting into the system, all this will certainly lead to malfunctions that require serious repairs or complete replacement. These problems can be avoided by treating your car more carefully.

Do not drive it at all speeds and choose more comfortable roads, and, most importantly, under no circumstances leave the car in the cold with the wheels turned out: in this case, the hydraulics instantly fail.

Required Tools

To work, you will need a number of tools that will help you in the process. In fact, the list of necessities is small, but it is better to have everything you need on hand in advance. This will make your task easier.

Nothing more is needed. In general, you can cope with the task only using the listed devices. Sometimes drivers wonder if they need an assistant for this job. In principle, you can cope on your own. But sometimes difficulties may arise during dismantling. In this case, you will need help, but this happens very rarely. As a rule, with the right approach, this repair occurs without any problems or complications.

How to remove?

Let's take a step-by-step look at how to remove the steering wheel. This will allow you to understand the principle of operation and avoid any mistakes in the process. So, withdrawal is carried out in the following order:

To begin, place the wheels straight. You don’t have to do this, but in general it will be easier to work with the steering wheel positioned straight;
Using a slotted screwdriver, pry up the horn trim and remove it. In order not to break the part, you should pry it as evenly as possible;
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 2 screws that secure the horn cover;
The cover is removable, in some cases it needs to be pryed off with a screwdriver;
The horn contacts are secured with self-tapping screws. Unscrew them;
The wire is disconnected from the contact and removed;
Use the socket to unscrew the nut. There is no need to unscrew it completely, just loosen it;
Grasp the steering wheel with both hands and pull it firmly towards you. This will allow you to remove the part from the splines. A nut that is not fully twisted will prevent the steering wheel from suddenly being torn off the column;
Unscrew the nut completely and remove the steering wheel.

In some cases, the steering wheel will not budge. In this case, you will need help. Your assistant will hold the steering wheel, and you need to apply strong blows with a hammer through a soft drift. This will allow you to remove the part.

Tuning options

Modifications to the steering wheel on this model usually involve installing a sports version, or installing a part from another model. The optimal option is considered to be a steering wheel from Kalina. But, if desired, you can select other spare parts. Here you need to look at the number and size of splines. If they match, then the steering wheel can be installed on the car. This can significantly improve the appearance of the interior.

Replacing hoses and oil

Power steering hoses are an important part of it. Therefore, they need an eye and an eye. But what if they still need to be replaced? Should you take your car to a service station? Of course, there is no need, because you can do all this yourself. Usually, hoses are replaced simultaneously with the power steering oil change. And it would be opportune to present joint instructions.

First you need to lift both front wheels of the car (they should be in the air);
We find the power steering reservoir from which the oil should be pumped out;

Pump out the oil;
Turn the steering wheel all the way in any direction (after this oil will appear in the tank again, which needs to be pumped out again);

Now turn the steering wheel in the other direction and pump out the oil again;
We remove the hose, which is the oil conductor (through it, the oil comes from the passenger compartment and enters the tank);
Turn the steering wheel from side to side (oil should come out again);

Replacing power steering oil

We take new power steering oil (usually about 800 ml);
Fill it into the tank to the maximum level;
Again, turn the steering wheel from side to side (all the way);

We start the engine for a few seconds, turn it off;
We turn the steering wheel again;
Add oil;
We pump and remove air from the system by turning the steering wheel with the car turned off ten times in each direction (we do the same number of times with the engine running).

When changing the oil, be sure to look at all hoses and pipes. If oil is leaking, this is a sign of a torn or faulty hose that will need to be replaced. Hoses are replaced only after the oil has been completely pumped out. You will need to unscrew the clamps and remove the hoses from the pump. As for installation, new hoses and pipes should be tightened with clamps and not overdo it (hoses easily burst, if anything happens).

How to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110 with your own hands - step-by-step instructions

First, a few words about why you need to remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110? The reasons may be different, for example: re-upholstery of the steering wheel, repair or complete replacement of it due to a malfunction or unpresentable appearance. Removing the steering wheel on a “ten” is not difficult; all you need is a screwdriver, a 24mm socket, and a few minutes of free time.

Basic faults

Most often, the rod, seals, and, less often, the slider wear out in the dozen. For this reason, knocking occurs in the suspension, which is transmitted to the steering wheel. Wear on ball joints can also result in knocking noises.
It also happens that the unit begins to leak, if we talk about hydraulics. Leaks are indicated by oil stains that invariably remain on the asphalt after a long period of parking.
Another most common malfunction is the so-called tight steering wheel. It also happens that the steering wheel turns only in one direction, this is a symptom of a serious defect in the component parts.

But why does the steering rack fail? As a rule, such problems come to reckless drivers, lovers of high speeds and bad roads.

We remove the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110 with our own hands - step-by-step instructions

1. First of all, you need to remove the decorative trim with the inscription “LADA”, under which the screws for securing the signal cover are hidden. It's best to do this with something flat, such as a small flat-head screwdriver.

2. Next, take a Phillips screwdriver and unscrew the steering signal cover.

3. Let's move on. The cover has been removed, now we have access to the steering wheel mounting nut, which must be unscrewed using a wrench and a 24mm socket. Before you start unscrewing, turn the steering wheel to the right until the steering wheel locks, this will make it easier to unscrew the nut.

4. After the nut is unscrewed, you can begin dismantling the VAZ 2110 steering wheel. Before removing the steering wheel, you need to align its position exactly in the center. To do this, set the steering wheel straight and, focusing on the factory mark, make your own mark on the steering column casing, this will simplify the subsequent installation of the steering wheel.

5. Disconnect the signal power supply and you can safely remove the steering wheel.

6. We grab the steering wheel with both hands and remove it from the splines. Sometimes the steering wheel sits very tightly, so you have to put a lot of effort into removing it. To speed up the removal process, apply light blows to the edges of the steering wheel, while simultaneously trying to pull the steering wheel towards you. Simply put, we turn the steering wheel towards ourselves.

7. The VAZ 2110 steering wheel has been removed. We carry out the necessary work and perform assembly in reverse order.

That's all for me, thank you for your attention and for visiting VAZ Repair. Until we meet again, take care of yourself and your VAZ. Bye.

Installing the rack

Through the opening of the left wheel we return the steering rack to the engine compartment, install the seal in its place and begin the most difficult operation - installing the rack on the car.

Ideally, one person will hold the rack against the engine bay while another person connects it to the steering shaft flange. I did this without an assistant, so I lightly tightened the nuts securing the rack to the body and pressed the rack to the body with this lever:

Not without difficulty, I installed the steering rack shaft and flange in their original position (picture on the left), but this was the second time, and the first time I incorrectly aligned the rack and worm shaft (picture on the right).

After the first assembly of the rack, the flange bolt, with the steering wheel in a straight position, did not fit into the recess on the shaft, so when trying to tighten it, I also damaged the thread on it. I had to replace the bolt and rebuild the rack again.

Once the steering rack shaft axle and splines are aligned with the steering column flange, you can screw the rack to the body. Here the ratchet wrench will help us again, but remember that using excessive force is unacceptable. Hold the key literally with two fingers.

When the shaft is in place, with the steering wheel turned 45° to the right, it will all look something like this:

To ensure that the flange is completely seated on the steering rack shaft, you can grab the steering wheel and push it away from you. It will turn out like this:

After this, you need to tighten the flange coupling bolt, but this must be done by hand, without using keys, so as not to damage the threads of the bolt if for some reason it does not fit into the recess on the shaft.

The thread of the coupling bolt is very easy to damage, so it must be tightened without using a key - by hand

I admit, I myself did not foresee this, and therefore I ruined this bolt and went to buy a new one. In theory, you can’t drive without this bolt, but I replaced it with a thinner one with a nut and that’s how I got to the store, but in general, it’s better not to joke with the steering. If anything, buy a ball joint bolt from a classic - it will definitely fit.

So, if you push the steering wheel away from you, then there will be no gap left between the steering wheel and the steering column pad. You can’t leave it like that, because when you turn the steering wheel, all this stuff will creak.

Now the bolt should easily screw into the flange by hand, to approximately this state.

I remind you: there is no need to tighten it with a wrench yet. We do everything with our gloved hands. Now that the bolt is screwed in, but not yet tightened, pull the steering wheel towards you, it will extend about a centimeter and a gap will appear:

Great! Now you can tighten the bolt with a 13mm spanner - you won’t damage the thread.

So, at this point, your rail is already screwed to the body. I recommend that you lightly lubricate the protruding threads of the four studs securing the rail to the body with lithol. This will avoid problems during future possible dismantling of the steering mechanism.

If the steering wheel is turned, then return it to the “straight” position and screw the steering rods to the rack. We tighten the large 17mm bolts that secure the rods to the rack with the same “meter” wrench and quite firmly.

We put a locking plate on top. This must be done, otherwise the bolts may come loose.

Now is the time to check the rack again for knocks. To do this, you need to grab the steering rod and pull it up and down. If everything is good, then during such a check there should be no knocking, the steering rods should be absolutely motionless.

Next, we screw on the thermal protection, connect the IAC and TPS connectors, install a platform under the battery and fix two wires to it from below, and install the battery itself on the platform. Not forgetting to remove the rags (if there were any), install the air duct between the air filter and the engine, and tighten all the clamps with a screwdriver.

Step-by-step instruction

1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, pry up and remove the Lada plate on the steering wheel.

We pry evenly on three sides.

2. Under the Lada plate there are two screws that hold the signal button. Unscrew the screws and remove the signal button.

3. Next we need to lock the steering wheel. Remove the key from the ignition and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

If your lock does not work, simply turn the steering wheel to the left all the way. In the next point of work you will understand what this is for.

4. Using a twenty-four socket, unscrew the steering wheel mounting nut. We do not unscrew it completely so that when the steering wheel is knocked down, it does not fly off.

5. Set the steering wheel to a position where the wheels are level.

6. Before removing the steering wheel, make marks. This is necessary so that when reinstalling the steering wheel you do not make a mistake and place it straight.

There is a mark on the steering wheel body itself, it is marked in the photo below.

Make a corresponding mark opposite the mark on the steering wheel body. Below in the photo I marked where to do this.

7. Remove the steering cover from under the steering wheel and disconnect the wire that goes to the horn button.

8. We knock the steering wheel off the splines with light blows from the left and right from the back side.

9. Unscrew the nut completely and remove the steering wheel.

10. Now about the installation. There are three important points. The first is the alignment of the marks that we made during disassembly. The second is the combination of the rod on the steering wheel, which is marked below, with the groove where the steering switches are located.

Groove

Third, the tightening force of the steering wheel fastening nut is from 30 to 50 Nm.

11. We install it under the steering casing and put on the steering wheel in compliance with the first and second points described above.

12. Screw on and tighten the steering wheel mounting nut. For ease of tightening, you can lock the steering wheel.

13. Remove under the steering casing and connect the wire that goes to the horn button.

14. Install and secure the signal button.

15. Install the plug.

16. Install under the steering casing.

Video lesson

Power steering pump

The pump of this mechanism deserves a separate discussion. It costs about 3 thousand Russian rubles and is often repaired rather than replaced. But if repairs don’t help, you’ll have to spend money. As for high-quality repairs, you can again do it yourself, thereby saving your money.

Typically, a ZF brand pump is installed on the VAZ 2110 power steering, which is also used on the Audi A6, Volkswagen and other cars. But this pump model is not dismountable and there are no retaining rings or covers on it. This does not mean that it is impossible to restore the operation of such a pump. Below are instructions for removing and disassembling the power steering pump:

Remove the clamp;
Disconnect the return hose (do it carefully so as not to spill oil);
Disconnect the connector;
Remove the DJ (sensor) from the fitting bolt.

We disconnect the discharge tube, first removing the union bolt;
Remove the power steering drive belt;
Now it's time to start removing the pump itself;
Loosen the first bolt securing the pump;
We completely unscrew the second bolt securing the pump;
Remove the pump assembly.

We clean the pump from dirt and visually inspect it. If a development is found on the inner wall of the housing, resembling steps, then they need to be removed using a special nozzle and a drill.

Pump bearing and seal

A worn bearing in a sealed housing can also cause power steering failure. The cuff, which needs periodic replacement, is no exception.

Let's consider both options:

To secure the bearing in the first way, you need to make a groove on a lathe on the outside of the housing. Then we drill threaded holes in the pump wall. The new bearing should be inserted and secured using bolts with sharpened ends, which are also sawn off.
The second option involves bending the edges of the body.

We assemble the pump in reverse order. Unlike other pump models, the ZF version has vanes that do not turn over.

The power steering pump may make noise after installation. But there is no need to be afraid of this, because everything is explained simply: grinding in parts.

Removing and installing the steering wheel

The procedure for removing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110-2112 is quite simple and does not require special skills or abilities. But you should be careful not to damage anything during dismantling. To do everything as carefully as possible and keep it safe and sound, we will need:

Thin flat screwdriver
crosshead screwdriver
Socket head 24
Extension
Ratchet handle or crank

To show the entire process of this repair as clearly as possible, I recorded a video tutorial in which I demonstrated everything.

Video review of removing the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110-2112 and useful tips

The tips are all listed in the video, and you should definitely listen to them in order to perform this procedure correctly and without negative consequences:

If during the review process you still have some questions, you can safely ask them either under the article in the comments or on my channel.

How to remove the steering wheel - photo report

The first thing you need to do is use a thin screwdriver to pry the trim with the inscription “Lada” in the center of the steering wheel, and then carefully pull it out so as not to break off the latches:

After this, we unscrew the two bolts securing the signal button, as shown in the photo below:

And now you can remove the button with a little effort:

But now you can unscrew the VAZ 2110-2112 steering wheel mounting nut from the steering shaft by inserting the head with the knob into the hole. This is clearly shown in the photo below:

Replacing the steering wheel of a VAZ 2110

Almost every motorist is familiar with the phenomenon of steering wheel play. Usually, if the reason is in the steering wheel, then the steering wheel is replaced on a VAZ 2110. This article presents step-by-step instructions that show how to replace the steering wheel on a VAZ 2110, which aims to change the steering wheel to a more comfortable one.

When does the steering rack need to be tightened on a Priora?

The steering rack is a vulnerable point for the Lada Priora. The first sign indicating the need to adjust the rack is the appearance of a knocking sound when driving over small uneven surfaces.
The knocking will be felt especially clearly when driving on country roads. In this case, the driver will feel shocks and vibrations on the steering wheel, which will also be transmitted to the entire car body. In addition, if the steering wheel adjustment nut is loosened when driving on the highway, the car will “float” a little, and additional steering will be required from the driver, which will also immediately become noticeable.

Experts also say that a tightening is necessary if the driver begins to notice the appearance of a clearly audible crunching sound in the area of the steering column, as well as an increase in the amplitude of the steering wheel rotation.

All about the VAZ steering wheel

Replacing the steering wheel of a VAZ 2110

First of all, you need to understand this important truth: the safest steering wheel is the one that was initially installed on the vehicle by the manufacturer. It was developed specifically for a specific car model, passed the necessary tests and is in accordance with current regulations. However, the design of the standard VAZ 2110 steering wheel is not to the taste of many and leaves much to be desired: the rim is very thin, there is no comfort and convenience when hands touch its surface, it is smooth, cold to the touch in winter and slips in the hands in summer. Therefore, car owners quite often think about replacing the standard steering wheel with a steering wheel from a different manufacturer, purchased in a specialized store. Also, the need to replace the steering wheel may arise due to the appearance of abrasions on the top, if there is a need to repair the sound signal.

Note. It should be remembered that, despite the large assortment of steering wheel models offered, quite often they are questionable in terms of safety and quality.

VAZ 2110 steering wheel removal

It should also be remembered that, according to the current rules, replacing the steering wheel of a vehicle is actually considered making changes to its design.

Of course, you can put different covers and leather, rubber or fur braids on the wheel, but it’s still not always possible to get a comfortable steering wheel this way.

Diagnosis of steering problems dozens

Every car has weaknesses. For VAZ 2110, this is the tie rod end. This part is an integral part of the car's steering system. The tie rods on the tenth generation VAZ end with tie rod ends. Rods are rarely changed, but tie rod ends must be replaced every 40 thousand kilometers of the car.

But this is an average and approximate figure. The service life of the steering tip depends on the driving style of the car owner and the conditions in which the car is operated.

Any driver of a vehicle can notice a problem with the steering. The main signs of the need to replace steering tips on a VAZ 2010 are as follows:

difficulty driving, especially when turning;
strong noise and knocking from one or both sides in the front, more pronounced when turning;
The tread on the tires wears unevenly.

In the latter case, most likely the problem is not only with the tips. It is necessary to diagnose the front suspension as a whole. Perhaps replacing the tie rod end won't do the trick.

The steering tips in the VAZ 2110 car are a hinged joint. Wear in the tip joint leads to a malfunction in the steering. You can check the steering tips on the VAZ 2110 yourself.

First of all visually. To inspect the tip on the left side of the car, you need to turn the steering wheel all the way to the right; to inspect the right steering tip, turn the steering wheel to the left.

You should pay attention to the rubber boot that protects the tie rod end. If it is torn or cracked, then it is time to replace the tips. Through the hole in the boot, dust and dirt enter the hinge, which leads to faster wear of the steering tip.

Through the hole in the boot, dust and dirt enter the hinge, which leads to faster wear of the steering tip.

To carry out the second stage of diagnosis, it is necessary to jack up one of the sides of the car so that the wheel is freely suspended in the air. Tug the tip with your hand, if there is any play, then you need to replace the steering tip. The tips should be changed on both sides. It is not worth saving and changing one tip; it is better to save on the services of a service station technician and carry out the replacement procedure yourself.

Choosing a steering wheel is a responsible matter

Sports steering wheel VAZ 2110

In the process of choosing a suitable steering wheel, you should take into account that a small steering wheel on a car without a VAZ power steering or rack will be much heavier, and a steering wheel with a larger diameter will be much more convenient to turn.

Note. The height of the driver should also be taken into account; for example, drivers with long legs may rest their knees on the large steering wheel while shifting the throttle or shifting the clutch.

A small sports steering wheel is not suitable for driving in the city, but would be more appropriate in a rally or on a high-speed track. A large leather-trimmed steering wheel with a wide rim is ideal for a comfortable and convenient ride. It is also recommended to hold and rotate the new steering wheel in your hands, simulating maneuvering.

Note. This is very important, since the further ease of use of the selected steering wheel will depend on this.

Replacing a car steering wheel with a steering wheel with a modified design may lead to some changes regarding the ergonomics of the driver's workplace. In addition, the force on the steering wheel also changes, which to some extent causes violations of passive safety in the car.

Replacing a VAZ steering wheel

Steering wheel play VAZ 2110

For each steering wheel, factory standards apply, according to which the permissible force on them and the resistance that the structure itself can withstand are determined . That is why, if you plan to replace the steering wheel, it is recommended to give preference to a traditional steering wheel with an additional braid made of materials that provide higher reliability of contacts with the surface of the steering wheel rim. The procedure will require the following materials and tools:

Phillips screwdriver;
Head “24”;
New steering wheel;
A piece of wire or wire;
Chalk, marker or something else for marking.

Removing the steering wheel

Replacing a steering wheel is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. When replacing the steering wheel, it is first removed. This procedure is carried out in the following order:

Note. Before carrying out work, do not forget to remove the key from the ignition switch.

First, the car must be installed on an inspection ditch or lift;
Then the hood of the car is lifted and the terminal of the “negative” wire is disconnected from the battery terminal;

Note. The disconnection of the terminal is due to the fact that there are electrical connections in the steering wheel. By turning off the power, you can prevent short circuits and unwanted connections between electrical wires.

After this, the car’s wheels are turned to the left or right;

Note. The steering wheel is turned until the device is activated, which locks the steering shaft.

Markings are applied to the steering wheel and dashboard;
Then the seven screws securing the steering column casings are unscrewed and the lower steering column casing is removed;
By unlocking the steering column adjustment lever, the column moves down. After this, moving up reveals the upper steering column casing;

Using a screwdriver, pry up the cover plate of the signal switch and remove it;
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that hold the horn button and remove the cover;

Note. You should be aware that the steering wheel sits quite tightly on the splines and if removed abruptly, injury may occur. That is why it is recommended to unscrew the nut completely only after the hub has come off the shaft splines. The nut will protect you from injury.

Using a 24mm socket, the nut that secures the steering wheel to several threaded screws is unscrewed so that it can move;
With rocking, the steering wheel is pulled along the shaft splines.

Note. If the steering wheel cannot be moved by hand, an assistant may be required. One needs to pull the steering wheel towards himself, and the second one needs to strike the end of the steering shaft with a hammer through a drift made of soft material.

Before finally removing the steering wheel, you should remember, or better yet, mark its position relative to the shaft, as well as the position of the turn signal switch in relation to the plastic ring;
After unscrewing the nut, the steering wheel is removed;
After aligning the two wheels, the mark is transferred from the removed steering wheel to the new one that is planned to be installed.

Installation of a new steering wheel

Installing a new steering wheel is performed in the reverse order of removal:

During the installation process, the steering column switch is set to the neutral position, after which installation can be carried out.

Note. To prevent the nut that secures the steering wheel from falling out of the head during installation on the shaft, a wire or several strands of wire of the required diameter are inserted between the head and the nut.

After tightening the nut, the head is removed and the wire is removed, after which the nut is tightened.
Also, when installing the steering wheel, you should turn the turn signal switch ring so that the pin on the hub fits into the groove of the ring (the ring returns the turn signal switch to its initial position when the car exits a turn).
When replacing a steering wheel with a new one with an adapter, it becomes necessary to install an adapter on the shaft. The new steering wheel is installed in such a way that it cannot come off while driving. The central nut is secured, after which the decorative plug is put on.
Then the negative wire is connected to the battery, the functionality of the sound signal and the steering column switch is checked.

Reassembly

If you have selected a new steering element suitable for your VAZ 2110, there should be no problems with reassembly.

In this case, it is very important to turn the turn signal switch ring so that the pin on the wheel hub fits into the groove of the ring. This ring will return the turn signals to their original position when the car exits a bend or turn.

Otherwise, simply follow the dismantling instructions, working in reverse order. This will allow you to install the new element that you have chosen for yourself without any problems. To be more precise, for your car.

In order not to damage the integrity of the steering wheel of the VAZ-2110, including the Bogdan modification, dismantling should be carried out in stages:

First of all, you need to turn off the power to the car to prevent a short circuit. To do this, you need to disconnect the “negative” terminal from the battery, carrying out this activity slowly and carefully.
We turn the steering wheel until it takes a middle position relative to the wheels of the car.
Using keys of the appropriate size, unscrew the 7 fixing elements that hold the protective steering wheel cover.
The lever responsible for blocking the control is disconnected from the power supply, the column is lowered and the upper part of the protective casing is removed.
Using a screwdriver, which must be carefully inserted under the upper part of the decorative steering wheel trim, remove it and unscrew the two fasteners. The latter attach a button that produces a sound signal. The unscrewed button is carefully removed from the socket.
Using a socket of the appropriate size, you must carefully unscrew the steering wheel lock, and before starting the process, use a mark to fix the correct location of the steering wheel. It would not be amiss to note the correct position of the turn signals. It is important to dismantle the steering wheel with extreme caution, taking into account that when working, the part can cause injury, since the fit of the element is quite rigid.

To avoid injury, experts recommend not completely unscrewing the fixing nut, but waiting until the wheel comes off the main shaft, and then completely removing the fixing fasteners.
