VE Steering Wheel Removal - How To Take Off The Airbag

[BigBoss]

They are different the ss has the same as carice, the bezel is smaller on the ss then the omega media controls. but I made the larger omega controls fit by trimming the spoke covers. Hope that made sence, Sorry about spelling on iPod

Just got mysef a HSV wheel and am wondering if the TORX bolt is done up to any specific torque setting and would it be advisable to use thread locker on it?

Cheers

 

[BigBoss]

Yep mate I would use thread locker, don't know about torque but I just did mine until it was firm n then a little more, mine was real tight to start with.

Cheers man...is the Sv6 wheel different to the omega? If so anyone with an Omega want an SV6 wheel just PM me.

They are different, the omega wheel is just plastic, you should b able to sell yours for around $50 depending on how old it is, i would have snapped it up 2 months ago i would recommend this upgrade to anyone with a stock omega wheel.

Thread locker isnt necessary, it isnt there from factory.

Just do it nice and tight but dont hang off the ratchet it doesnt need to be super tight.

I've done about 6 of these and every one of them has factory locktite on them (blue)....
Reapplying some on install won't hurt.

Have they? Brain fade on my part havent done one for a while.

No it wont hurt just dont overdo it.
