Disconneting The Airbag
« on: 07 August 2010, 21:23 »
How do you disconnect the bloddy thing from the plug?

You have to remove the indicator stalk, right? I removed all 3 flat-head screws, but still couldn't take out the stalk...

What's the magic?

do you just remove the steering wheel, and swap to standard?

Yes, mate. Couldn't disconnect the airbag wire from the plug to remove the steering wheel.

I can't figure out how to remove that indicator stalk.

I've done that and removed the airbag, but I need to unplug the wire, which is attached to the steering wheel, otherwise I can't remove it completely, even after undoing the 24mm nut.

The bit that I'm confused about is how to remove the bloddy stalks.

Thank you SO MUCH for the link, mate.

That's exactly what I needed. I didn't know there are 2 more screws underneath...I was wondering why the fcuk it wasn't coming off, lol

Will try it tomorrow.
