  • Patent number: 11046350
    Abstract: An installation device is used to install a steering wheel onto a steering column having a plurality of column splines, wherein the steering wheel includes a plate with a central opening and a plurality of wheel splines configured to engage the plurality of column splines. The installation device includes a frame including a base and a cover removably coupled to the base. The installation device also includes a first magnification lens coupled to the frame, and a first pair of posts coupled to the base. The first pair of posts are configured for insertion into a pair of corresponding openings on the steering wheel such that the first pair of posts position the first magnification lens a first predetermined distance from the steering wheel to focus the first magnification lens on the plurality of wheel splines.
