Royal Steering Wheels

Yeah two at the back and you'll have another 4 to swap over your slip ring and a white plastic clip.

Thanks Ant,how long should I leave the battery disconnected before unplugging the air bag wires ?

[Nodzed]

There's just two screws at the rear of the wheel retaining the air bag assembly if I remember right @NODZED ?

Steve

Disconnect the battery (good advice from @Mint ), remove the lower steering column cover 1 x posy screw, and un-clip to separate the wiring connector, 2x torx screws on the rear of the wheel holding the air bag on and I think a 17mm socket for the wheel nut .... place the air bag metal side down just in case it goes off, wont fly into the air then

 

[Antm72]

By the time you have disconnected it and got round to undoing the airbag from behind its long enough.its just a yellow push in plug just like a seatbelt pretentioner.

Yeah I had to do that as the connectors were different, easy enough though.

Column nut should be 16mm I think. But you have your shiny new socket set anyway don't you Steve.

If the wheels exchange it will be completly bare at least mine was when it arrived had to swap all bits over.

I sent a spare one I got off Spurs fan as I wanted to keep my original, but the connectors were different so I had to swap them, but all you will have to do is remove the 4 small torx and swap your ring gear off your wheel onto the referbed one, its easy as mate takes 5 minutes.

b***** does this mean weve got to change yours again

In time mate but not just now as I haven't got round to ordering the dye for the plastics either side of the airbag.
Plus I need to get the seats out so wouldn't want to damage my wheel

 

[Bozzy]

Many thanks @t-tony,@Antm72 and @NODZED your help and advice is much appreciated .
