Removing the Steering Wheel

Removing the Steering Wheel

Anyone have tried removing the steering wheel? I want to replace mine with another one but i'm scared i might mess up the airbag or worse it might deploy. Can it be taken apart without damage to the airbag?

remove the airbag fuse - however, I would not advise it.

You will almost assuredly be dropped from your insurance company for removing the airbag should you get into an accident

im not trying to remove the airbag but i just want to replace the steering wheel. I want to replace it with an S steering wheel. I have a CE.

This is interesting, I too have a CE and I never did bother to look at a type S steering wheel before and now Im curious on whats the difference between a CE steering wheel and a Type S steering wheel. Can you elaborate 03rolla59 and why you want it change?

Well i changed my interior from the S interior. I have a CE too and so far i changed the carpet and door panels from beige to black. Im planning on changing the lower dash and the steering wheelscause i dont like the beige color. There's nothing special with the S steering wheel, its just different color (black) which i like.

It looks pretty straightforward.

how are you sourcing the parts for the S interior. i'd be interested in changing my interior to black too
