You seriously need to get someone else to do this for you. That is the SRS clock spring. It is what allows the drivers airbag to work. If you cock it up then you will have no airbag. Potentially worse, the airbag will deploy unexpectedly. Contact someone local to you who is well known on here.
huh?? the airbag is on the floor in the passenger footwell?? if it deploys from there ill be well impressed!! and will get pics to prove!
nah nah, im fitting a chavvy aftermarket wheel, with no airbag.
sorry dude, should have explained a bit more in the first post!
Mark is correct it is the clock spring , disconnect it and remove it , and you should be ok , also suggest you disco the passenger airbag just in case
battery is disconnected, that should be enough
from that pic, how do i remove it?? just pull it out?
IIRC you need to remove the cowling as it is hel on underneath the unit
that black bit that revolves is part of the clock spring and there are 4 screws around the fixed black bit and if you undo these it will remove the entier thing easily. but you need to take the cowl off top and bottom.
the function of the clock spring is to transfer the electrial signals from the steering column to the steering wheel itself for the air bag deploment and for the horn.
If you are not using a horn or air bag the the clock sping is not necessary. however a horn is required for and MOT.

Well it better be a feckin good steering wheel then !
lol!! im back and uploading now, its been sat upstairs for about 3 weeks, i bought it off migweb for £60, i think its a fair old bit better than the wood effect (im 29 not 59) just gotta deal with the dash next!!
ok pics
from this
to this
i like it, yes the whole inside needs a damn good clean!!
nice, how would you go about hiding the foam? between the boss and the cowling?
its not foam, i have no idea what its made off but its solid, its not as grey as it looks in the picture, i think thats the flash doing that, if you compare the colour of the wheel between the 2 pics, that piece is much darker.
