Hello and welcome to the Real Deal EV YouTube channel! Today, we’re going to guide you through the process of replacing the scroll wheels on your Tesla Model S or Model X.
This video was prompted by a customer request as we hadn’t covered this topic before. To begin, the airbag has already been removed from the steering wheel. If you need guidance on this step, there are other videos available that can help you with the process.
We’re focusing on the 4 t27 torques that secure the metal bracket to the back of the airbag assembly. The video demonstrates the removal of these torques and emphasizes that only the horn airbag assembly is being extracted, not the entire steering wheel.
After loosening the metal bracket with the t27, the video switches to using a T15 to remove the torx bits and disconnects the connector on the control assembly. It then proceeds to removing the far outside T15 torques.
Once the assembly is removed, the video shows the scroll wheel in the middle of the control assembly. It demonstrates the careful removal of the plastic outside to access the retention clips and the replacement of the broken scroll wheel with a sturdier one.
The demonstration concludes with a step-by-step guide on reassembling the components and ensuring the scroll wheel is securely in place. The video provides useful tips and highlights the precautionary measures to handle the components delicately.
