Baojun 730 steering wheel removal and installation steps: After turning off the engine, switch off all electrical devices, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, locate the hole on the back of the steering wheel, poke it with an appropriate tool, then return the steering wheel to the straight position, turn it 90 degrees in the opposite direction, poke the other hole, and the airbag assembly will come off. Remove the screws to take out the airbag, then remove the screws of the steering wheel, and the steering wheel can be taken off. The dimensions of the Baojun 730 are 4780 mm in length, 1780 mm in width, and 1740 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. It features front and rear disc brakes, front-wheel drive, and a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters.
Last time I removed the steering wheel of my Baojun 730 by myself, it was quite an interesting experience! First, always remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait for 5 minutes to deactivate the airbag circuit—otherwise, if the airbag accidentally deploys, it could be extremely dangerous. Next, I used a socket wrench and a Phillips screwdriver to carefully pry open the airbag cover from the small holes underneath the steering wheel. This step requires gentle handling to avoid scratching the interior. Then, I unscrewed the central large nut and carefully pulled out the steering wheel. When installing the new steering wheel, just align it with the center shaft and tighten it clockwise. The whole process took less than 30 minutes, but having the right tools is crucial—never use cheap wrenches, as they can easily damage the screws. I think this job isn’t too difficult; the key is to stay patient. It’s also better to keep gloves in your toolbox to protect your fingers.
