Removal, approximate time 1 hr and a couple of your favorite beverages.

1) Remove airbag fuse. Wait 30 minutes, enjoy a beverage.
2) Remove airbag. There should be 2 bolts on the back of the steering wheel, one on either side, holding the bag in.
3) Carefully unplug the airbag from the harness. Holding the "leather" panel away from you, place face up on a table. Enjoy beverage.
4) Loosen and remove center nut on steering wheel. Don't forget to unplug horn.
5) Using a steering wheel puller, remove wheel.

To Install approximate time varies depending...

1) You will need a hub adaptor appropriate for the aftermarket wheel you are installing.
2) Install hub adaptor.
3) Connect horn plug, install wheel.
4) Enjoy

just remember if you put a aftermarket wheel on, not only do you lose the drivers side air bag but the passenger side one also since they are on the same fuse

I pulled fuse and went to town when swapping out my dash, I spent 2 hours on the whole thing maybe including removing the airbags. Sorry but I feel some people are way too paranoid when it comes to the airbag aspect. Better safe than sorry I suppose?

I am acutally quite fortunate in my case.... when I first got my Fire, the steering wheel was appearing to be not centered, so I thought it was the alignment... got that checked, and it was fine. So recentered the steering wheel. Didn't pull the fuse (didn't know at the time that I should have) and didn't face the airbag away from me when I was moving it to the table. Set it down upside down, and *pop* damn thing just went off randomly and shot a good 10-15 feet in the air or so. Fortunately, I had access to a spare driver's side bag and quickly learned my lesson to follow instructions with something potentially hazardous like that.

You can probably rent one from a local auto parts place... shouldn't be more than $5 or $10 that way...

To purchase, its $30-50 depending on local retail prices.

when i pulled my steering wheel i asked how much it was to rent, they said 15$, i went over to the shelf. found it for sale in the same store, 15$. gee hard decision there.



i always dissconnect the battery and pull the fuse. call me paranoid but it only takes a minute to do and removes any possibility of problems.

autozone lets you borrow tools for free, you just need to put down a security deposit, and when you return the tool you get your money back

I've seen the ways of God
