Loren- I just bought a 3 spoke. Do you have a DIY

[C.Plavan]

Hi Loren. I finally found a full black leather 3 spoke wheel to throw on my car. Would you happen to have any instructions. I'm a little hesitant because of the airbag deal but think I can manage. I have changed them on the racecars, but then again, no airbags.

You should have been at Henry's house. We had some room left on the trip computer retrofit DVD so we video taped a 4/3 spoke steering wheel swap. It takes a long time to type the instructions. I have posted them before on other boards - I just have to remember where and when and see if I can find a link. Perhaps Loren already has something. This pic is from when I did my swap a few years ago. Jeff

Chad,

Here is a link to a large (2.5 MB) PDF file for steering wheel removal and OBC hack. You may not need the OBC hack but the steering info is good.

Those are pictures of me working on Bruce's car 2 years ago. Here are some brief instructions I posted in 2001. Instructions

Disconnect the negative battery cable first so the air bag light does not go on when you disconnect the air bag. Make a match-mark on the shaft that corresponds to the square hole on the wheel which you will see once the air bag is off. The square hole on your new wheel lines up to that mark on the shaft.

When you put the wheel back on the 2 plastic prongs must be going into the 2 square holes in the wheel as you slide the wheel back on or you will break the prongs.

In this picture of a 3 spoke you can see 2 black match-marks I made before the wheel was removed. Jeff

This was a very easy swap! I did it two years ago. Just follow the simple instructions! :clapping:

:thumbup: Chad... wow that was fast where did you find one?

Its a simple change out.. should take less then 20 minutes for normal

people for you I'd say 9 minutes tops B)

I'll give him 5 minutes. It'll probably take me 65 to do mine!! A new 930 wheel is on the way for my red one.

Chris bring it on over... those older cars are a snap to change. Although, it can be really hard to get the old wheel off.

Just found out it's backordered. Won't be here for a month or so. Did you get Michelle's email? She was wondering if she could have Tori's address.

On the video it is 11 minutes. The owner tells us what is going to be done, disconnect the battery, and a lot of verbal instructions. Henry sent me these screen shots of the video.
