how do i remove steering wheel?

[TickleTimeTim]

After searching, I didnt find anything? Is it as easy as removing the visible screws? What about airing? I wanna install an after market wheel and hub. Thanks.

there is also a pretty much step by step with pictures in my Divorce build thread as well....including the horn and airbag.

[TickleTimeTim]

Yes Scott is too

Yeah, when I did a search I saw it bring up your posts, but saw it was many many pages long. And impatience got the best of me. I will go back and look at all your sweet mods and find it. Thanks.

So ive decided to put my stock wheel back on and I know how to, however when I originally took it off I didn't tape the clock wheel well enough and it spun. What is the significance to this thing and how do i reset it?

It being centered is important, as otherwise when you go to full stop on one side you will snap the ribbon cable inside of it. To re-center it, turn it all the way in one direction until it stops and then turn it back 2 1/2 turns until the little triangles meet on the bottom of the face of it.

[TickleTimeTim]

You never cease to amaze. thank you. Ill try it. So I take it that it doesnt matter which way I spin it all the way too?

[TickleTimeTim]

Got it back on thanks. Now how d i get airbaf light off? Disconnect battery?

Correct - Either way you'll hit a stop. Once you do it is 2.5 turns back to center from either stop.

You're the man. After school, before work, ill try to remove the light. This jumper wire...excuse my stupidity, but would speaker wire work? Would that bridge it okay?

A paper clip or any piece of wire, of which the bare ends will fit into the holes, will work.

what kind of aftermarket wheel and hub did you get? :p

Some eBay detachable wheel. I have a thread called updated pics that you can see it in. I already miss the smallness of that wherl, but it wasn't luxurious feeling. Maybe ill get a sion wheel later on.

You are probably on the wring pins. You might want to try from the top of the connector (by removing the change cup). On top it is the White wire with the black stripe to the pink wire.

Here's a wet blanket for ya: I checked with the Insurance guys on this, and they told me that replacing the wheel with an aftermarket unit WILL affect any personal coverage. In other words, if youi rearrange your face on a non-stock wheel, you get to pay for face repairs: not covered! Your company may (or may not) have the same reg in place. If I were you, I would check...

[TickleTimeTim]

I never checked my insurance cause I figured it was a give away that they wouldnt be cool with it. But I've got my stock wheel back on now so in good. Only thing I miss is how small my aftermarket wheel was.

[CTScott]

I am just curious.. once I remove the airbag, disconnect the electrical cables, and unscrew the 19 (or 17 mm not sure) nut.. would I be able to remove the wheel from the splines without the special removing tool? (just with my arms)

Yes. If you watch my video in the link on the first page, you'll see how easily it pulls off without a puller. You just grab the wheel, wiggle it a little and pull straight back, and it pops right off.

[TickleTimeTim]

Yeah, easy to wiggle it free. Post pics when you do.

[TickleTimeTim]

I got the air bag lighr blinking after trying the top like you suggested, however now my timing must be bad. Darn light won't turn off.

[TickleTimeTim]

I finally, just now, today, got that stupid light off. Had some free time and made it work. Thanks again scott.

[TickleTimeTim]

So, I got the light off. But then after turning my car off then on later, the light came back on?!?! How can this be?

Y u no stay off light??

You will have to check the stored code for the SRS to see why it is coming back on.

[TickleTimeTim]

hmm, stored code? *derp*

Step #2 - Watch the flashes and let us know what numbers they equate to:
