Steering wheel removal on a mk2 ph1 ?

[cat171]

Is it just the same as on a mk2 ph2 ? (as in the guide section)

If not, what do I have to do ?

Thanks.

Dont know about a mk2 phase 2 but on my mk2 phase 1 its just two torx screws through the back of the wheel that hold the air bag in place. Once thats out the way theres one big torx screw that holds the wheel onto the column.

 

[cat171]

Cheers dude.

Anyone confirm if it's the same as on a phase 2 ?

 

[cat171]

Up.

it was for my wheel craig, couldnt imagine it bein any different

 

[cat171]

Ahh that's cool, should get round it over the weekend.

- worse case scenario I blow the airbag

 

[MikeyK18]

yea that would be bad lol

when removing it u have to disconnect ur battery and leave the car for abt 10mins while the chrage goes away, just in case the airbag goes off when ur removing it (that would hurt lol)

screw off/screw on job

 

[cat171]

Yeah I think i'll be fine with it. Cheers mate

Remember, dont take the bolt off altogether until you have loosened the wheel on its splines, otherwise you'll get a very sore face!!

yep same exact thing except

ph1 airbag is held on with 2 30 torx's through the back of the wheel

ph2 is 2 metal wire clips

 

[cat171]

I changed it shortly after I posted up about doing it. It was easy to do

 

[Djw John]

Sore face?!

 

[cat171]

Chill out man, would you like high-res of my exhaust boxes ?? Maybe you can laminate them for some fun time ?


I'll take pics when I get round to it.

well 1 of my torx heads was rounded off.....so i have had a mare tbh.... there was no way of getting that off at all......well there was but i cannot use the airbag again...

[Nafoff]
