Removing a Steering Wheel in a GUIV with Airbag

[MudRunnerTD]

Hi Gents,

Well i did this a couple of years ago after my leather bound factory wheel split and i had to cut off the sheath. The replacement is wearing also and in time will need replacing too. i will get it retrimmed next time.

I was a little anxious about taking a Steering wheel off with an Airbag but it is very simple and the airbag is not going to explode on impact.

Forgive me, these photos were taken back then and i have just found them on the computer so i may be missing some detail but you get the gist. It is a very very simple task.

You will need a small pik to open the cover of the screws and a #55 Torx bit i think? I cant remember but i had to go and buy one. I bought a cheapish set and put it in the tool box for Ron.

(Edit) DISCONNECT the Battery for Safety's sake.

There is a Screw on each side of the steering wheel. Remove both.

Give the steering wheel a good hit at the 3 and 9 position side to side and it should lift out.

follow your nose, it really is a 5 or 10 minute job. Hope this helps.
