sorry to post this but search doesnt work...
does any one know of a doco' of how to fit a au steering wheel (with the airbag and such,) is it something i could do myself?
any help would be great, thanks

yeah you can do it yourself but you need a t50? torex bit (can get them from autobarn/super cheap auto) make sure you get a pack that includes T50 as some dont go that big... should only be about $15

- make sure the steering wheel is straight
- disconnect battery , wait 10 mins
- remove 1 torex screw from either side of the cover directly behind the airbag (behind the cruise and volume switches)
- the airbag should now pull out towards you, remove the airbag and disconnect the 2 looms from the airbag
- there is one big torex bolt in the middle of the the steering wheel, remove this and pull towards you (very hard with your knees on the dash and dont knock youself out when it goes pop)
also make sure all wiring looms are clear when you pull (cruise, volume control etc.)

no need to undo the battery, but if you fancy, undo-away!
suggest undo the T-50 torx bolt and leave a few threads in so its doesn't knock you out when it gives way.

try to walk it off side by side and up and down before you put all your force onto the thin wire wheel your pulling on.

just found this (talking about the screws into the airbag)

i pulled an au wheel off today, torx t50, cost $3 for a chro-mo bit. the side 2 screws were 10mm head m6 bolts

this it what i did to mine...
definitely torx bits.. or were

Hey guy's I'm buying a wheel off an au xr, but am stuck getting it off, I decided to go ahead on it a week ago, and decided to try an have a play finally today, but no success, anybody could possibly help me with suggestions on how they've done this, as it's seems short of spending $35 to get it out, when i can get to ford, but would really prefer a cheaper alternative.

your gunna have to pull like a m0thafvcker..... they are tight as a nuns you know what.

Yeah I'll be able to get the wheel off, but my problem is i can't get the airbag off to get the wheel off, as i can't find the tool.

Nobody in Brisbane I could possibly borrow the tool off or something?

anybody?

I'm having trouble looking for one too, although I haven't looked extremely hard
Everyone has 6 point ones

ok you guys owe me big time
use a centre punch to hit down centre pin on torx screws so there flatish and just use a screw driver to undo them.

how do i know this........found it useing the search...o and used method to pull my wheel off 3 times this week

NFI what you said halfway through that sentence.

Loosen the centre bolt, and pull with slight sideways movement. Or buy a puller.
