taking off s15 wheel

[Kyosuke]

how do i take a S15 steering wheel off ? please be specific if you know and what kinda screw is this ? Im assuming i have to take these off before i can take off the wheel

[Adam496]

They look like stripped torx bolts. The only thing that holds the wheel, is one nut behind the air bag. I have no advice on how to get it off though.

[Kyosuke]

oh, yea somebody else told me that too a 19mm bolt but i dont know how to take this front part off

They're safety torks. just get some locking pliers and grab the outside of it, they aren't on there that tight.

[Kyosuke]

where can i get this safety torx from because they are pretty tight and i cant get them off

[bigOdom1]

its a tamperproof torx it is tight you ave to get a "tamperproof T50-70 cant remember which... take off one on each side then slowly take the airbag off. battery should be disconnected for a minute or so. unplug wires and you will see the larger nut

[Tenchuu]

and you can pick up a set of those bits at sears or someplace local like that.

i just bought a t40 and it was too big =/ but thats before i knew it was a safty torx and also before i knew it was tamper proof :( i have a bad headache now. Sears doesnt carry them -__- blah !

[burgy240]

im selling it and putting on my stock wheel or unless the guy gives me his s14 wheel ill try and put that on :hs:

after that im selling my sileighty

[Sir]

it in fact is a t50 safety torx.
plenty of local places have them.

[jkeisser]

just use a vice..
if you dont want to drive back to sears, heh.

[Kyosuke]

Okay cool i took the stupid thing back to sears and looked for a torx kit and they didnt have it and they looked to see if they had any in stock in no luck >_< so i thought i was doomed so i stoped by this new hardware store close by and pick these up for a pretty good price :D

so i took off the safetly torx which were pretty damn stiff :/ and the front cap came off, then i took off the 19mm bolt in the middle and the wheel didnt wana come off still so i just yank it and threw a temper tamtram and it came off :D

So my next question is am i missing anything here ? Im putting back on my stock wheel for now.
