Hi

Enyone know how to get the steering wheel off?  :confused:

Thanks

Remove the airbag (held in by two metal spring clips you can access from the back of the wheel with a flat blade screw driver) and then it's a single M12 spline bolt holding the wheel on  :happy2:

I found it little tricky.......

straighten the wheel......now turn it to the left and you will find an opening behind the wheel As Steve said, use a flat blade s/driver and pop the pins. You have to insert it, and push down toward the centre of the wheel.

Once popped, turn the wheel 180 and do the same the other side......

be carefull....as the whole unit will comes out, with the airbag wire/plug attached!!!

I was told (true/not) always disconnect the battery first, and leave for 15 minutes.

Maxi-Mos:
Thanks will try that  :drinking:
