hiya - how would i remove wiper stalk on a 2002 clio 2 ? - can i replace it without having to take off steering wheel? - can i just remove top and bottom steering column cowls and just remove some screws and take the wiper stalk out or do i have to remove steering wheel?

cheers

I think you need to remove the squib to get to it and that means wheel off, its 2 torx screws for the stalk. not 100%. Look at the guides there might a few pictures that you can work it if you need to remove the wheel

When i switched mine out i dont remember taking the steering wheel off, I thought i had to take the two plastic bits that wrap the steering wheel column.
Remove The top and the bottom one if I remember correctly.
The things that the sticks go into. Im sure thats how i changed mine. I defiantly didn't remove the steering wheel.

I think theres 3 fixes on the bottom under the housing. and then the top one should lift off? I think.
Then Two screws. Pull the stalk off. Then reverse.

Im fairly sure thats what i did.

Squib is a non-magical person who is born to at least one magical parent. The opposite of muggle borns. Squibs are quite rare apparently.

wonder if its just these 2 torx yokes then holding the stalk then? cause i can see these without removing the steering wheel, be a bit awkward to get to with the wheel on ... but should be doo-able

Turn the steering wheel on an angle to undo the torx screws no need to take wheel off.

^ WHAT THIS GUY SAID

My bad, thought the screws went in from the back for some reason.

Yeah you can get in without removing the wheel. You just have to pull the plastic forward from the squib and then get in with a screwdriver. It's tight but doable (TWSS)
