Im doing some interior work and wanna take off the silver plastic pieces off the steering wheel. do they just snap in? how do i get them off? any help would be appreciated

and in the next couple of weeks my interior should be completly different.

Also how do i take the A pillars off since they have the airbags in them??

 

Alan wrench pulls the airbag off, then a screw in each and then just pull, they have single pins that hold them in place, 2 small screws on the back of the buttons to remove the switchbox and mode button

 

make sure you disconnect the battery. You dont want the airbag to accidentally go off in your face while working on it. better safe than sorry.

 

yep that really hurts.
i've seen it happen to someone on the street and the airbags just went out and knock the guy out. so definetly be very careful and good luck

 

Thanks guys. Should have most of what i wanna do done before x mas. I will keep yall updated!

 

Here is a good DIY for the Gen 1's it should be similar to this, hope it helps

Thanks Steve. Im sure itll be similar to the Gen2

 

So you can't remove the silver pieces without disconnecting the battery and removing the center piece?

 

nope, cause there is a screw that holds it in. once you take the airbag off, you can get to it. by the way, to take the airbag off, its a t-30 torx bit. make sure you disconnect the battery and leave it off for at least 90 seconds. there still a charge and if you mess with the wires for the airbag, you might set it off. i just put on a leather wrapped steering wheel and love the feel.
