R3DG3CKO ROB Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Cool, Thanks... I'll give it a try any advice on removing the steering wheel? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 you don't need to disconnect the battery just make sure you unplug the air bag sensor behind the dash and don't have your keys in the ignition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably easier to disconnect the battery then.....lol Sorry mate, have no idea on removing and changing the wheel, trial and error though i guess.

hoff Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Take the centre piece off the wheel and you should see a bolt, I think, and just undo that. To be honest though my mate did mine while he was doing some other things and i wasn't paying much attention. Maybe better waiting for someone else, sorry:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Am doing my Momo Jet tonight assuming I have the motivtion when I get home. Will take some piccies and report! I've done aftermarket wheels on other cars and it's pretty easy TBH - not sure if I need a spline socket for the head bolt but will find out soon enough...

uk-rich Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 tip, put the bolt back in the steering wheel (couple of turns) before you attempt to pull it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Looks awesome... I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Well done bud. Mine went on perfectly as well, but I am also a slight dumbass. I fixed the boss kit on before attaching the connector for the horn, and now it won't fit - so I have no horn until I buy a new head nut and washer and do it all again *grin* But yeah looks really good doesn't it!
