How to remove indicator/wiper stalk from a VT-VX.
For those of you who wish to change an indicator stalk or wiper stalk, I have written up this "how to" to show you the basics.
Tools Needed
* 1 x Philips Screwdriver
Step 1.
Pull the lever down on the bottom of the steering column and push down on the steering wheel. This will drop the steering column.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 2.
Place your thumbs on both sides of the top plastic trims as shown in the images below.
Push in firmly with both thumbs and then push up. (you may hear a click sound)
The top plastic trim will lift up from the steering wheel side.
The trim will then slide out toward the steering wheel and lift out.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 3.
With both hands either side of the fuse cover below, Pull out and down to drop the fuse cover.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 4.
Looking from underneath the steering column, you will notice two (2) hooks at the steering wheel side of the bottom trim.
At the back you will notice one (1) screw.
With your philips screwdriver, undo the screw at the back of the bottom trim.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 5.
With both hands either side of the bottom plastic trim, pull back toward the steering wheel until the trim is released from the two hooks underneath.
Once the trim is released it can be pulled downward and will come out.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 6.
Looking at the stalk that you want to remove, There are two (2) clips (one (1) either side)
Undo these two (2) clips by holding your hand over them and pulling the stalk as pictured below.
_____________________________________________________________
Step 7.
Looking at the stalk again, You will see another two (2) clips either side (one (1) each side) that are holding the wire connections to the stalk.
Unclip them and pull the wire connections off the stalk.
_____________________________________________________________
Ok now your ready to install the new stalk.
Simply reverse all instructions listed above to re-install.
Please take note when re-installing, the hooks pictured below must match up between the top and bottom plastic trim.
Other Notes:
For this "how to" you will notice I have removed the wiper stalk.
The wiper stalk and the indicator/cruise stalk are exactly the same when it comes to removal/installation.
