Removing the steering wheel of the Lada Priora

We install the steering wheel in the reverse order, aligning the previously made marks and installing a new self-locking nut.

Tighten the steering wheel fastening nut with a torque of 32-51 Nm (3.2-5.2 kgf.m).

If it is necessary to install the steering wheel in a new position (for example, if the spokes are inclined when the car is moving straight ahead), put the wheel on the shaft and fix it with a nut without tightening it completely.

After driving straight for a few meters, make sure that it is in the correct position.

If necessary, move the steering wheel to the required number of splines and tighten the nut.
