Standard ADM or JDM wheel?

If ADM:
get small screwdriver, pry the center "S" or "C" badge out from the steering wheel. Put the screwdriver underneath the badge in the middle and pry. Should come out easy. Then there's one 17 or 19mm nut (i forget) to undo. Undo it most of the way but don't remove it yet. Then wiggle and pull the steering wheel (can take some force) toward you to til it comes loose. THEN remove the nut and take the wheel off.

JDM: same as above, but instead of prying out the badge, you just pull the 'toyota' bit off towards you.

Fitting the aftermarket wheel should be very straightforward.

dare you to take the nut off though, its scary/funny/painful when it comes flying towards the bridge of your nose.

It takes a bit of force. Hitting doesn't work. Just pull and wiggle.

Yeah. Remove the steering wheel at straight ahead, then dummy fit at straight ahead. Bolt it down. Test.

Rinse, repeat.

hahaa i found hitting it around the wheel with a rubber mallet worked very easily and it didnt come flying off, just loosened it for an easy pull of. a GOOD tip for future wheel changers.
