Hi guys,

I just purchase a brand new JCW Steering wheel and I would like to know can I remove the one that I have now? I have the standard steering.

Thanks!

 

Don't know all the procedures, but I can tell you that you need to disconnect the battery before you mess with the air bag.

 

Thanks!! I have been looking all over this forum and internet and cant find anything showing how to remove the airbag :/ any ideas?

 

There are three spring-loaded release points. Feel around behind the spokes on the steering wheel and you should feel a hole on each side. That covers two of the release points. For the third, you should find a similar hole at the bottom of the steering wheel at the 6 o'clock position. You need to push a long screwdriver or something similar through each one of these holes to release the clips for the airbag. It's a pain in the *** and will greatly test your patience.

For the side spokes, I turned the steering wheel so that the spoke was now at the bottom and then pushed my screwdriver up into the hole. Rotate wheel and repeat on the other side. Then do the bottom. This is what worked for me but it took me a while to get there. From what I remember, you need to push through each hole towards the center of the steering wheel, but also angled slightly out towards the driver seat.

Take a look at your new JCW wheel and you should be able to get an idea of where these holes are and how the airbag attaches. It will make even more sense once you get the damn thing off ... good luck

 

I have and made a video here, let me know if it’s useful 👍
