JODY T Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 That looks really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 very nice iirc, the centre section just pulls off, then its a case of simply undoing the large nut on the steering column. Dead easy, but easier still if you remove the plastic shroud behind the steering wheel first (4 bolts, iirc, underneath) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Im confused lol, im not the brightest! What stops the steering wheel coming off then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 pull the centre bit of both steerings, have the steering straight, undo the 1 nut, steering will come of, put the new one on, straighten it, put the nut back on, click the centre bit back on, job done. yes its that simple:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 iirc, the centre section just pulls off Even with the airbag version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Even with the airbag version? No, that has screws in the side of the wheel I believe, otherwise the front would just pop off into your face instead of splitting and allowing the bag out.

ShamelessTT Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 The front of the wheel is on springs for the horn tho, im worried about pulling this 2 hard, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 when you put it back on just make sure the springs are in the same place, take a pic and well show you:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 looks nice, I'm assuming this wouldn't work with an airbag (facelift 4 spoke wheel), or would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 3 spokes dont have the airbag as far as i know, the 4 spokes do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 cheers guys , i went out and tried it on the damaged one, got ya. Just pops off once the screw below has been undone. I was just being a pussy as i didnt want to break the retrimmed one for any reason! Hehe Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_supra Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 No, that has screws in the side of the wheel I believe, otherwise the front would just pop off into your face instead of splitting and allowing the bag out. that made me chuckle.

michael Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Oh and don't take the nut off the middle completely when you remove it, keep it on a few turns to prevent you pulling it off and smacking your teeth out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamelessTT Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Fitted it, wish id left the nut on a bit as suggested lol lol , it was a tight one to get off and it through me right back in the seat and missed my nose by an inch when it came off Hehe. Took about 15mins to fit and when for a spin after about 3 weeks of not driving.....reminded me exactly why i love the Supra!!! My wheel was £250 all in (50 extra for Supra writing in middle) and i bought the replacement wheel off ebay for £40. Gibson trimming are an absolute pleasure to deal with, highly recommended.
