Justin Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Can someone tell me step by step how to take the airbag off with normal tools. Looks a bit tricky on MKIV.com. ie step one do this, step 2 do this. etc Don't want to blow my head off but do want to fit my new boss and wheel.

matt Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Make sure the battery's disconnected and you'll be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yup cheers matt that's step one what's next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yeh just make sure the battery has been disconnected, i think our airbags book says leave for about half hour first, but never done that, just don't have your head in front when you remove it!, then i think there screwed on at the back of the wheel should feel a couple of holes at the back. Once you got the bag off undo the nut, but don't take it right off, then pull on the wheel till it breaks seal with the column (not literally!) then undo nut and lift off. Iv'e found using your knees helps to remove it too as well as pulling on it! hope this helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 Right so: 1. Disconnect battery 2. Remove plastic covers 3. Unscrew star shaped screws with star shaped screw driver is that right? see pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 sounds a good thread i need to replace mine, no trouble with them going off in your face as mine have left the building take plenty of pics for reference when you done it is your stock wheel 3 or 4 spoke?

Will do mate. It's actually a piece of cake when you know how. I've done it now. See pic. I'll post up step by step asap. It was a 4 spoker. Scooby - I've wired it up to the alarm so if someone trys to nick the car they get their head or hands blown off. Seriously I don't know what to do with it. Might take it into a field, connect it to a battery, retire to a distance and set it off on video camera. Could be a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Stick it on eBay or something. They cost a fortune new. If somebody is repairing a damaged Supra it would be worth £££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
