Guide to removing vy/vz steering wheel

[Lumps of cheese]

Any idea if the VY-VZ wheel will fit into a VT-VX?

I take its the same sort of procedure to take out a VT-VX wheel

I'm not sure about fitment, pretty sure they're different.
The wheels are different, removing the airbag will be different i would think. I never had to remove the wheel from my vt so i'm not 100% sure how they come out.

Yep im sure the wheels are different as the vt air bags have security screws behind it.

Just wondering if the splines are the same vt,vx,vy,vz?

I would think they'd be the same, just check with holden on that one.

can someone give me close up picture of the yellow airbag wire, does it slide off or pull off?

Pulls off.

Thanks for a great guide!

I removed my VZ wheel to fit new spokes only to find that mine are molded rubber. Bugger!

Taking this as a good excuse, I bought a leather wheel off eBay, but the seller claims that the wheel only suits VY. I thought that VY and VZ wheels are interchangable?

Anyone know if this would be true or not?

Cheers.

As per my above post, when taking of my steering wheel the steering wheel control wire got caught and broke.. i drew up a quick diagram on what happend... anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Goto your local Dick Smith store and ask for a 2-way nylon connector (Part Number P5102) for about $2.39. You can then replace the whole clips (both sides) with these. If you want you can also spray them a colour IF you want to

Can I also add that before disconnecting the air bag wiring that you press your brake pedal a few times to discharge any current left in the power system this could explain the stories of air bags going off!

I eventually got my airbag off only first to discover that you need to drop the fuse panel to get better access to the rear clips.

The secound problem that I came accross is that I do not have a normal 30mm bolt and by looking at the images the 30mm is not factory so that steering wheel has come off before and the factory hex bolt has been replaced as you can see the outline of the hex bolt in the image.

So I can't get my steering wheel off. If I can not get the Hex socket from bunnings I will have to go to Holden to change my steering wheel.

I don't even know what size hex socket to even get. ?

This has been very disappointing for me.
