i need ur help asap

ok, im getting my interior painted later today.
i removed all my pieces, but im having trouble taking off the steering wheel controls.
yes, i did search.
i kno that u have to remove the 2 screws on the side, but i dont kno what tool to use to take them out.
can someone please tell me

and im not to familiar with screws so please be specific. the proper size would help to.

and if u can post a pic, that would be even better.

thanx

 

......................anybody?.................pweez

 

t30 sized torx head screws. Your going to have to twist HARD. they're in there really tight from the factory.

they dont completly come out, they kinda loosen alot and just hang there. once to that point, pul the horn/airbag towards you gently.

now that the inside of the steering wheel is exposed, you'll see a small phillips head screw holding down each plastic piece. undo the phillips and pull the pieces towards you and they'll pop out.

alrite.
thanx. i'll see wat the t30 looks like.
hopefully my bro has one

 

alrite. i'll try to get it off on my lunch break

o, should i disconnect the battery so the airbag doesnt come out.

or will it be fine with the battery connected?

 

 

it wouldn't hurt...

 

you dont need to disconnect the battery, just dont yank at the steering wheel airbag.

 

alrite

 

yea. i had the tool. put it in, twist. nothin



that ____ is tyte.
booooooooooooooooo
i cant loosen it

 

i told you its tight



i had to use a ratchet

 

damnt man, this really sux


i dunno wat to do now

 

the paint shop should have a torx bit for a ratchet.

 

one of these???

 

yep, that's a ratchet, now you need a t30 torx head bit to go onto it.

 

thats the lil piece rite?

um...........this

 

sort of.... it has to be able able to fit over the square part of the ratchet.

 

wow, i dont have one of those

but can i use something like this to connect the 2?
the thing on the right

 

ya.


you just have to make sure that it will fit into the hole in the steering wheel. that hole is pretty small!

 

aw, damnt. lol

well if not, hopefully somebody at the shop can do it without chargin me for it.
