3. Then use a T27 Torx bit to remove the 2 screws on the rear, Note the screws DO NOT come fully out. Then pull the airbag out dis-connecting the orange connection. I reccomend that you undo and remove the Airbag with your body/hands etc behind the wheel so that if the Airbag does go off, it wont make contact with your body.

*For non airbag models remove the centre cover*

Store the Airbag in a safe place with the bag facing up. They are still VERY dangerous so should be out of harms way.

Then refit or use a new bolt for the centre of the wheel and tighten to 35Nm with a torque wrench (if you don't have one, buy, borrow or steal one as you don't want the wheel coming off while your driving)

Then place the rubber surround around the Boss and place the metal washer on.

Reconnect your battery.

You dont have to wire the horn as its on your stalk, i fitted the horn button as it looked better with it fitted instead of a hole.

Then sit back and enjoy your new wheel!
