Jake Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 The stock wheel from a '98 VVTi will fit my (non airbag) '93 RZ won't it? If I was taking the steering wheel off a crashed '98 Supra to put onto my car what precations should I take so as not to trigger the airbag whilst I'm removing and refitting ther wheel? thanks edit: Apologies for the bad grammar in the subject.

Matt Harwood Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Just make sure the battery is disconnected. You can remove airbags safely as long as the ignition is off, and not switched on during disconnection. If you want to be ultra careful, unplug the airbag ecu from under the armrest of the centre console. But really, all you need to do is make sure the ignition is fully off.

Justin Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Ah good I was going to ask this too Thanks Matt. If you see me at the next meet with no head that'll be because I forgot to unplug the battery By the way after you've taken the stock airbagged steering wheel off what is the best/safest way to store it? Will it be OK near my cache of ammunition, fuel and WMD in the shed? Justin:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 BTW, normally disconnecting the battery works, but some cars you have to wait a certain time before removing the air bag, normally half an hour, can check tomorrow in my air bags book in work if your desperate!

Jake Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 Doesn't matter now, I rang them today for a price and they said £25 . . . . then they said "Oh hang on, does that have an airbag?" Me: "Yeah" "Oh, it'll be £125 plus VAT then" They can keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
