Avensis 2004 (2003-2007 model)

Removed as there was something rolling around inside the steering wheel, causing the horn to randomly activate

Unit has airbag, I didn't fancy the idea of the unit going off so I disconnected the battery as a precaution

Loosen the two "torx" screws on either side of the steering wheel (on sides next to the stereo controls on one side and blank/cellphone controls on the other side) , they will loosen, but not completely come out as they are held in by a plastic "cage".

Use a magnet to 'hold' one of the torx screws out as far as possible, whilst slowly wiggling the centre of the steering wheel out on that side (it won't completely remove), repeat the same on the other side, the centre should now come out (it's a firm fit), but note that the removed piece is still connected via cables (for the airbag), I did not need to remove these to perform my repair, so I am unsure as to what would be required to 'reset' airbag (if anything) once these are disconnected.

The torx screws need to be located in the plastic cages (on the recess on the Torx screw head) to hold them in place whilst refitting the centre of the steering wheel.
