Does anyone know how to remove a steering wheel with an airbag? i know there are two screws at the back of the air bag, but i can't get the small wrench in to unscrew them . Any ideas?

make sure you remove the negative terminal on your battery and leave it for atleast 30minutes to get rid off all the charge in the car..

helpful if you dont want the airbag to go off

not sure about removing the wheel though

ha ha i've done all that, but the torx bit wont go into the hole bit as it's too wide. If you have a way of getting it of daz that would be great

left it today as i had to fit the air filter pipe.

i've been told it's a T30, but i only have two T30's. One is a screw driver bit, which you can't get any grip with and the other is a wrench bit and it's to fat for the hole where the screw is
