EarL Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Ok, before I blow myself to bits...How do you remove the steering wheel without blowing the airbag to bits? ;)
Jozinobi Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 That I dont know Glenn but...I do know the airbag is connected to some sort of sensor box underneath the centre console.I found that out whilst installing the quickshifter.Best to wait for someone who has dunnit to come along ;)Peace OutJoz

Maybe thats it? ;)
Jozinobi Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 No, theres prob more to it than that.I think it wud be easy to say disconnect the airbag 1st, doing it is another matter.Defo disconnecting some wiring etc for sure...Im positive someone will be on shortly later today to fill u in!U changing to a sports wheel yea?Peace OutJoz

With the wheel ouyt the way it shed loads easier. ;)
Blue Icarian Wings Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I read somewhere, can't remember where, that if you disconnected the battery the air bag/air bag sensors lose power/turn off/whatever and you can remove safely
paul w Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 An air bag is like a small bomb just waiting to go bang! Wait till someone who has done it tells you what to disconnect for sure,It's gonna hurt if that goes off when you least expect it to! I'm interested to know too because i wanna change my steering wheel soon.
SiCaln Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 yea disconnect the battery, then undo the two clips on the side of the wheel and knock the wheel towards u to remove it from the splines
EarL Posted September 25, 2006 Author Posted September 25, 2006 yea disconnect the battery, then undo the two clips on the side of the wheel and knock the wheel towards you to remove it from the splinesCheers dude! Be doing it tonight. ;)
Mart Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I just disconnected the plug from the airbag. Its a yellow push-in plug and there was no probs...
Raffi Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 yea disconnect the battery, then undo the two clips on the side of the wheel and knock the wheel towards you to remove it from the splinesI can confirm this, hehe...
EarL Posted September 26, 2006 Author Posted September 26, 2006 Well, I disconnected the battery, released the two screws (one either side) and knocked...You're joking! I could have knocked it with a 10lb sledge and it wouldn't have moved! So I left it there and worked around it. I'll need to remove the damn thing before long though as I'm after a Momo wheel. Cheers guys.EarL.
lobotomy Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 you get a "puller" to get steering wheels off the splines -- but they're for pussies only joking mate... they can be stuck on there pretty hard.Kind of the same as a flywheel puller if you go looking for one.
Raffi Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Yup... A puller!I used one, to get my steering wheel of...Just forgot to mention it, hehe....
starletboy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 mite sound stupid mate but have you taken the airbag off fully from the steering wheel before you undo the 19mm nut on the wheel??????if you have then undo the nut but leave it on 2 or 3 turns then hit either side off the steering wheel until it comes off
