Rikki Dunnett Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Sorry if this is in the wrong place Admin newto the forum and desperate. I am in the middle of replacing my heater matrix as it was leaking like hell. i need to take the steering wheel off inorder to remove the dash which is all disconnected. I have been told to forgetremoving it to cut the dash under the steering wheel. which lets face it is notan option. All the tutorials i have seen and read sayundo the 2 screws at the back of the wheel in order to release the airbagcover/horn but mine does not have 2 screws it has like studs. Please advise as we live in the middle of nowhere and we really need this back on the road. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttmich Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Size 8mm or 6mm can't remember which size it is,undo and whale....be careful of airbag though,any probs and I will take a photo of page in book concerning steering wheel removal......the screws are a pain but I found by pushing on the middle of the steering wheel it stopped the "studs" spinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muttmich Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Try the 6mm or the 8mm approach first... then get back to me... if that doesn't work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Dunnett Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Still having difficulties i am thinking of buying a new steering wheel center and airbag unit and cutting the front off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttmich Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 And where's the airbag again... oh yeah it's at the front of the steering wheel!! Probably easier to cut dash than doing that bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 5.5mm socket, or just cant you unplug connectors for steering column and remove column, and steering wheel complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
