Note that if you actually want to get the wheel off, the nut will have to come off the bolt at some stage ;)

Thats correct but if you want to wear a wheel hard on your nose then you will leave the bugger on until you have loosened it off thy shaft. lol

I remember once when i was working at a ford laser wreckers one of the guys told me about this young guy that was working there. He was removing a steering wheel and didnt leave the nut on. He was pulling and tugging away and then the wheel smashed him in the mouth.

He lost a few teeth :shock:

yeah, me too - off to the dentist I went . . . :nuts:

I did a quick step-by step if you look under the ralliart wheels in the magna mods section. Didnt cover the airbag bit, but that has been covered here I think

..well thanks to murph03..the job was so easy,after having a look at the wheel and seeing the socket l needed it was a quick 15 min job and ...all done..mmmmm...Momo.....love the look ..love the feel....




my Sports..now with even bigger lights having upgraded from Cibie Oscars to Super Oscars....mm love my light..love my magna...:cool:

Guy who installed my stezza told me that he heard about a guy who was installing a stezza and got killed by an airbag that inflated. Imagine that... Killed by an inflating airbag while installing a car audio system.

Be careful removing it

EDIT Didn't read the last couple of posts... my bad haha

Anyone else having trouble getting the airbag out? One of the screws holding mine in is incredibly tight.

Do airbags have fuses?If so take ot the fuses.

QUESTION

i have capacitors connected to my stereo system.

disconnecting the battery is easy enough, but the main cable is still connected to the capacitors, so my car would still have power?

wasn't sure if this would affect the airbag system at all

disconnect the neg cable from your battery.. nothing will work then....

speaking to tinkering with airbags whats the go with turning off the SRS icon light on the dash. My problem being it's constantly on since I re-trimmed my steering wheel any was wondering do Mitsu themselves need to do a reset coz my mechanic can do ****...
