How To Remove / Replace Clock Spring Cable Reel + Steering Wheel & Airbag Honda Accord 2003-2007

- This is a step-by-step tutorial & DIY auto repair guide on how to remove, replace & install clock spring also known as cable reel on 2003-2007 Honda Accord (which is the same for years 2004, 2005 & 2006 Models DX LX & EX) by young mechanic Aiman. The clock spring has the wiring which controls the Horn, Cruise Control, and the Radio Controls on the steering wheel.
The process involved removing first the airbag, followed by the steering wheel. It only requires simple general tools except for the TX30 star type socket or screwdriver.
The steps are actually not too difficult, only a few basic tools are required but if you are not too comfortable dealing with airbags then you should consult or have it repaired by qualified automotive technicians or auto repair shops and garages or auto dealership.
Some of the tools you might need would be flat head & phillip screwdrivers, T30 star / torx wrenches and basic sockets / ratchet. No power tools are required. Most of the electrical connectors can be unsnapped easily.
Word of caution is make sure you disconnect the battery first, wait a few minutes (20 minutes or longer is highly encouraged), and avoid possible static discharge via clothing or other possible methods. Once you unplug the airbag itself, it can't go off. There's a shorting bar built into the connector of all airbags, that joins the two terminals to prevent "stray" voltage from being able to set the bag off.
In most cases, once you've removed the airbag and center bolt, the steering wheel can just be wiggled or pulled out. However, in some cases, wheel puller tools have to be used in order to remove the stubborn steering wheel (we used Bolt Type Wheel Puller Set 46-Piece by Pittsburgh Automotive from Harbor Freight Tools, and we've also done an exclusive video on how to do that, click here for that video:

This video was done a 2004 Honda Accord, however, the process may be the same for most Honda or Acura models such as Civic, CRV, Element, Pilot and Odyssey. Even if it's not exactly the same as they will be some variances between the years and model, it may still give you a rough idea on how to do it on the vehicles manufactured by Honda.

Wow, thank you so much. I’m a 66 year old Grandma and I followed your perfect directions . You gave me the confidence that I could do it and I did!
Just installed a new clock spring in my 2008 Acura TL Type S, thank to your video. Big Tip: Leave the lower dash panel in place to make it even easier (I saw it in another video). You just have to move the steering column lever around while dropping the left side of the cowling and freeing the lever.
Thank you so much! I watched the video a few times, then I brought my laptop outside with me and paused it at every step. Your instructions were so clear!
Very good job! I couldn't have done this without your video.
One of the best videos on how to do this job. Actually disengaging clip locks instead of just pulling and tugging at things. Had troubles removing the spool until I watched this. the upper clip wouldn't release without a screw driver depressing the tang.
I'm glad to hear it! Thanks for commenting!
Awesome video, simple and easy to follow. Keep it up. 😁
Thanks mate, you've saved me a couple of hundred bucks!!
Right on Bro, so detailed that I didn't even had to think. Thanks man, you're the best
Thank you for the compliments and taking the time to leave a positive comment. Thanks for watching...
Thanks for that - much appreciated!
great video! Thank you
A very enlightened young man. Helping everyone to understand and undertake the task. You just have to believe in yourself and have the courage to follow through with it. Live and learn.Learn and live.
Wonderful video. Perfectly explained. Will help many people.
Thank you.
Thank you for the compliment. My dad wants me not only to learn but also to sharpen my ability to explain complex technical stuffs to a general audience. I think I'm getting better over the years. Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks for watching...
Good job 👍 young man
Thank you for your help
Great video. I have to change one on a 9 gen Honda Civic.
Greate video!! Thanks!!!
great video, Thanks
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
You remind me an awful lot of myself when I was younger! Stay curious man and keep up the good work! Oh by the way, this video was helpful when I was replacing the wheel on my Acura TL.
Thanks for the compliment and moral support. Glad some of my videos were helpful to you. I wanted to learn and my dad wanted to teach me. I wonder if you became an engineer...
@@EyeOnAiman Would you happen to know the name of the white part that connects behind the clockspring? It was connected to my old one and I mistakenly burned it.
Thank god u made this video i was stuck on the clock spring and i tried getting it out but it didn't work then i watched this video and it fucking worked i was so happy cause at first it was a headache
this dude save me $500 bucks - Thanks!!!
Reed Richard hi, may I ask why did you have to replace that? I guess I’ll have to do same thing but wanted to get your idea.
@@kerem54545454 maybe because his air bag light was on
Thanks bro
Do you know if you can swap the steering wheel for a 2018 accord on 7th gens?
Excellent job on video. Great commentary and visual. Well done and thank you. One question; does it matter if the steering wheel is perfectly straight? I noticed you had it turned when working on it for convenience. I have a 98 accord EXV6 and need to change clock spring as when I turn the wheel at a certain point media adjustments and horn don't work. Either side of that point its no problem. But these days I seem to need a horn at every point. LOL! Design component seems to be the same for my year as your year. Always a little paranoid that the air bag will go off unexpectedly. You make me feel a little more confident that it won't. Why they call it a clock spring I will never know. Has nothing to do with a clock. Thanks again
I've watched a few of your videos since I have picked up my Honda. Excellent presentation, pretty good camera work for having someone hold it, and very thorough explanations.
Great video. Straight to the point. My horn and controls on the steering wheel haven't worked since I got my car 80k miles ago lol. I just never really cared. Got the car with 72k miles and now has 155k miles. Figured I'll replace the clock spring before I sell It. Hopefully I don't need to also replace the cruise control or volume buttons. Do you by any chance have the part number?
Do you have any idea about, SRS. HONDA ACCORD 2000. EX.
will this work on my 2011 accord?
Thanks for the video. At 9:40 mark how did you get the connector off that rail?
I know I'm two years too late but for anyone else wondering you just have to give it a strong push forward after separating it from the other yellow connector.
Great video. does your mom and dad no your out fixing the car.
Thank you so much for your video. It helped me out a lot. I was able to change the clock spring in my wife’s 2007 Honda odyssey.
I am struggling with the screws,no matter what I try I can’t get them out
Whata happens when u remove a spiral clock cable and it turn in ur hand
Can't seem to locate a replacement part for 2006 honda oddesy anyone know where to buy ?
Are u available
You're taking things apart well enough but I swear you're driving me insane with your pronunciation of "finagle". The A is pronounced like Ape, not Apple.
fin NAY gul -not- fin AG gul
Every single video I've watched has this distraction, this one more than most.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and the constructive criticism. I will work more on my pronunciation of the word "finagle". Here's a video I can use: ua-cam.com/video/E-QRMwa5nvc/v-deo.html
