Introduction

If the C-Clamps on your Logitech G27 break, you will need to replace them before using the steering wheel again. This is a little bit of a pain to do, because the C-Clamps are fully inside the device case. To replace them, you will just need to remove a few screws.

  1. Remove the six gray 25mm hex screws with a 4mm allen wrench.

    • Remove the six gray 25mm hex screws with a 4mm allen wrench.

    • Watch out when you lift the wheel up, as there are fragile wires connected to the bottom side.

    • Carefully lift up the wheel, but do not disconnect it from the rest of the device.

  2. Carefully lift the wheel off of the hub, exposing the 2 shifter paddle wires and PCB board.

    • Carefully pinch and unplug the large 7-pin connector under the PCB board.

    • Be careful when unplugging this adapter, try not to pull on the wires to avoid damaging them. Instead, wiggle around the plastic connector while pulling on it to loosen it.

    These screws refused to go all the way back in for me, and one of them stripped completely. If this happens to you, you can get replacement screws that are shorter here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MFA...

    This works for the G27, not sure about the G25 or any other wheels.

    Obviously the screws being shorter means the wheel isn't as strongly attached to the base in this direction, so if you have to do this remember not to put unnecessary stress on these screws by pulling the wheel straight off the base.

    Some of the connectors have locks on them, I would recommend this as a two person job.

Matt Na - Réponse

Agree. Skip from step 8 to 14 directly.

Great tutorial though, cannot make it better! Thanks for putting this together!

Eduardo -

Thanks a lot, mate.

Bill Stephenson - Réponse

Hi did not need step 9-14 as was able to push the clamp from the bottom of the steering wheel saving time and the risk of damaging cables

Improved Logitech Clamps can be found here. Made with stronger material, holds and weights more. Check it out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/263522953969 . Thank you for looking

Why would you need to unplug the wires and remove the PCB and other things? Once you removed the housing, you can easily remove the clamps without removing anything else.
