Good day can anyone tell me how to take off the steering wheel cover of a 2019 hino dyna 2.5 ron

To remove the steering wheel cover on a 2019 Hino Dyna 2.5 RON, you will need to follow these steps:
  1. Locate the steering wheel cover release lever: This is typically located on the back of the steering wheel, near the bottom. It will be a small lever that you can pull down to release the cover.
  2. Release the steering wheel cover: Once you have located the release lever, pull it down to release the cover. It should come off easily.
  3. Remove the cover: Once the cover is released, you can remove it from the steering wheel.
  4. Disconnect the airbag connector: Before you remove the steering wheel, you will need to disconnect the airbag connector. This is located at the back of the steering wheel. Disconnect it by pressing the release tab and pulling it out.
  5. Remove the steering wheel: Now, you can remove the steering wheel by removing the steering wheel nut with a steering wheel puller or a steering wheel lock plate tool.
  6. Reinstallation: reverse the process to reinstall the steering wheel cover.
It's important to note that these steps may not be the same for all models, so it's best to consult your owner's manual or take it to a professional mechanic for further assistance.
Also, take care when handling the airbag, disconnecting it could cause it to deploy. If you are not comfortable with the process please seek professional help.

How do i remove the steering wheel on a 1989 mazda b2200

Hi
  • 1st thing you want to do is position the steering wheel straight, easier when you put one back on. If it's never been removed before you might need the help of a puller
  • 2nd is to disable the horn. Easiest way to do that is by just removing the negative cable from your battery.
  • 3rd is to remove center wheel cover on the three spoke steering wheel you can just simply peel the cover off. On two spoke steering wheels (which is stock), you'll need to remove three or four screws on the back side of the steering wheel. Then pull on the front cover, unplug the horn wire from the connecter, and set the center section aside.
  • 4th is to loosen steering wheel retaining nut. With a 21mm or 13/16ths socket and maybe a breaker bar, you'll want to loosen the retaining nut that is holding the steering wheel on the column. Back it off until it is approximately flush with the end of the bolt. Leaving the nut on the end of the bolt will prevent steering wheel from hitting you in the face when and if you try to use your own strength to pull it off.
  • 5th is pull the steering wheel. Try and give a firm tug on the steering wheel while wiggling it right to left to pull it off the column.
As said above, if the steering wheel has never been removed before, it's probably going to require a gear puller or steering wheel puller. You can acquire one of these at your local auto parts store. Good luck

I need to know how to replace tumbler 1993 honda accord 5-speed

That is not the key part of the switch, it is the electruical switch the key cylinder operated.
Instructions
    • Set the front wheels to point forward and remove the key from the ignition.
    • 2Disconnect the black battery cable and then the red battery cable, in that order, using a wrench unfasten the two torx bolts securing the lower lid on the steering wheel using a ratchet and torx bit. Pull off the red shorting connector from the underside of the lid and put the lid aside.
  • 4Reach through the steering cover opening, unplug the air-bag electrical connector and insert the red shorting connector to the air bag side of the unplugged connector.
  • 5Unfasten the three glove-box mounting screws and put the glove box aside using a Phillips screwdriver.
  • 6Unplug the passenger air-bag electrical connector and insert the red shorting connector located next to the connector into the air-bag side of the unplugged connector.
  • 7Pry off the small cover behind and on each side of the steering wheel using a small flat-head screwdriver.
  • 8Unfasten the torx bolts under the small covers using a ratchet and a T30 torx bit and remove the bag assembly from the steering wheel. Place the bag in a safe place away from your working area with the cover facing up.
  • 9Unplug the horn connector located on the upper side of the steering wheel assembly and the cruise control switch located off center and towards the right of the steering wheel assembly.
  • 10Make alignment marks on the steering column shaft, at the center of the steering wheel, and the steering wheel assembly so that you can reinstall the steering wheel in the same exact position. Use a marker.
  • 11Unfasten the steering-wheel retaining nut on the center of the assembly using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Hold the steering wheel steady with one hand as you remove the retaining nut.
  • 12Rock the steering wheel carefully from side to side as you pull the wheel off the center shaft. If the steering wheel is stuck, install a steering wheel puller on the assembly and detach the wheel from the shaft.
  • 13Remove the upper and lower steering column covers using a Phillips screwdriver.
  • 14Unplug the ignition switch connector.
  • 15Insert the key into the lock cylinder and turn the key to the "On" position.
  • 16Unfasten the two ignition-switch mounting bolts from the steering column using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Then remove the switch from the steering column

    When i touch the steering wheel the horn will not stop honking

    check the horn connection. You will need to remove the center cover from the steering wheel. You should see a lone wire with a connector end that mates to a tab. When this makes connection the the center of the steering column (ground in this case) the horn sounds. I would think that if you removed the steering wheel center cover you will readily see and be able to fix the problem.

    This is not a hard job, just look the the underside of the steering wheel for the screws that need to be removed to release the cover.

    Good Luck
