Steering wheel dis-assembly

[Synned]

So I ordered a new outer ring type thing steering wheel because the outside of mine is getting prettty ****ty. It has no buttons, no internals.

I have never worked with an airbag before so I'm pretty scared, where do you even begin to take apart the old one? Anyone know of a tutorial?

Thanks guys

Start by disconnecting the battery for at least 10 minutes before messing with the air bag. It is pretty straight forward after that. 2 screws on the back of the wheel and everything will start coming off. Just make sure you have a really good puller. That makes all the difference. This is for a fr500 steering wheel but should be about the same.

Make some lights come on after you unhook the battery too, maybe just press the brakes a few time. That way ALL charge is out of the car.
