Excellent job. That video was exactly how all DIY videos should be done. No fluff. No rambling. No wasted time watching someone fumble a tool.

I appreciate you mentioning the prior tech not putting the screws back on the clamshell. And that you found some and did.
Also knee/torque/camera skills are impressive.

[youngguns]

I would of broken a lot more things if I had not watched this video before doing the work. Thanks for all the info now my 15 outback is back up 100%.

That man can fix anything i do believe he can fix the crack of dawn

I've never been inside a steering wheel. Doesnt seem too scary, and you did it one handed 👍

[MrPoppyDuck]

Thank you Mr Subaru for another very helpful video! You are making it possible to be less intimidated when working on Subies.

Recently got a 2013 Legacy and your videos are getting me up to speed on the important things these Subarus need. Thanks!

I replaced the relay on my 2015 forester and the fuse is good. I guess this is my next step to see if it'll get my horn working. Your videos have taught me so much and saved me from having to go to a mechanic. Thank you!

Thanks for the help with the economy as it is every dollar helps. My only advice is to say the pins to release the bag are at about 2:00 and 10:00 from the side holes upon entering.

I am fortunate that my subi.. is in BEAUTIFUL! shape for a 2011 Outback

Thanks. Used this video and 1 other to replace the clock spring on 2104 Forester with dead horn. Air bag was a pain to remove. The springs are difficult to see. It's a good idea to take a marker and draw a line down the steering wheel bolt and mark above and below to help line up steering wheel when replaced. $30 clock spring off eBay is working fine for now.

You still make that look easy. Great video.👍

[fordfactor]

Excellent. My 02 H6 has a clock spring that sounds like a rattlesnake when i turn the wheel. Repair thankfully looks straightforward!

[richroggio]

thanks Pal, That was great. very informatve. I love my
2015 FXT Touring and my 2003 FXS Premium
👍

[jameshyde]

But you make it look so!... easy. I think if it were I doing the work, perhaps I could have done it; but! it would have taken me two weeks to get it done.

[mikeabbitt]

Amazing how you can do the job while holding the camera.

[MrPoppyDuck]

Just before I pull off steering wheels I take a sharpie and draw a line across the shaft onto the wheel. That way I know how to line up the wheel without guessing when I put it back.

[JenniLudes]

You made that look easy. I'd be so paranoid of accidentally deploying the airbag even with power disconnected, ha. Those traces in that cable seem so fragile. It's a wonder they hold up as long as they do with all the movement they would experience in a steering wheel. I work on computers and see ribbon cables fatigue on laptop screen cables with less "mileage." And I would assume most cars with steering wheel controls have a similar configuration.

[tristanj]

thank you mr. subaru for another fantastic and informative video!

[mdonola]

Magnificent change to the ClockSpring. I was waiting for your video, I only have one question, is it not necessary to disconnect the battery when handling the Aibag?
Good job. Best regards.
