Most DIYers Do This Simple Job Wrong 

In this video, I show you how to remove a C3 Corvette steering wheel and install a different one (note: not applicable to 1976-on Corvettes with the corporate or "Vega" wheel).
I recently restored a steering wheel I bought at a swap meet for ten bucks, • Guide to STEERING WHEE...
The one I'd been using for the past several years was looking tired, so it was time to swap it.
Many C3 Corvette owners struggle with horn buttons that work erratically or simply don’t. I hope this video will show you how the upper horn contact assembly has to be installed to ensure the horn circuit will be complete, so the horn will actually honk when you press the horn button.
Also, if you decide to swap your steering wheel, this video is a step-by-step tutorial on how I did it.
Additionally, here’s a link to a 76vette blog article I wrote several years ago with lots of sharp color photos of each step along with a written explanation.

DISCLAIMER: Even though I like to wrench on Corvettes and most of my videos are of a how-to nature, I am not responsible nor liable should you decide to follow my musings on the subject.
The repairs and other work I do are for my own benefit and entertainment, and even though my videos may sound and appear to give technical how-to advice, that's not my intention.
Working on a vehicle is inherently dangerous. If you're not confident, qualified, or lack the tools to do the job correctly and safely, hire a licensed mechanic.
