S2000 Steering Wheel Successfully Installed - Thanks
Thanks Rick, John , and all.
The installation went very well. Working slowly, it took less than an hour - including the 15 minutes I waited to begin once disconnecting the battery.
Here's how it went: Once the battery was disconnected (the one in the engine compartment - not the IMA), I let it sit for 15 minutes. I then pried the two housing covers off each side of the wheel and took a torx T-30 socket to undo the two sides of the hub/airbag housing underneath (the hub/airbag then practically drops in your lap). The airbag and horn connectors disconnects easily (if you're heavily pulling & prying you're not doing it right, the airbag electrical connector disconnects fairly easily with with a subtle technique which you can learn by trial & error in a few minutes - no I cannot explain it better). The nut is then removed (with a 14mm socket), then you put the new wheel in and button it all up. Easy.
My original foam steering wheel was getting kind of nasty (as has happened to some of you as well) and, for only $6.00 (plus $12.00 shipping) and less than an hours effort, it was a great value for a very nice improvement.
