Does anyone know the best way to install a aftermarket steering wheel on a 200sx? I have all the parts, but i can't figure out how to get the airbag off. Can someone please help??? Any info would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Wade Greene

All you need is a special tamper proof torx bit - I think T-25? Don't have that info in front of me. Anyways you have to pull the plastic covers off the wheel, unplug the bag, and there is a bolt on each side if I recall and that removes the air bag.... BE CAREFUL lol.

just so you know if you get pulled over it is against the law to remove safety things on your car. just in case your not putting the airbag back.

I live in South Carolina we have no emissions. i have a Recaro Pole position Seat with 4-point Harness, these cops here don't really take notice to that kinda stuff here it's pretty cool.

Actually removing an air bag should be no problem - in fact some dealerships will give you the option to disable (read it on a site somewheres) - a lot of people have concerns that they do more harm than good......

No. Just go to to a Local Autoparts place that sells Torx sockets. T50H. It has to be a "H". As in hole in the middle.

BS. As long as you are the owner and you don't try to sell it back w/o knoweledge that it is removed. I will find the post somewhere. Hold on.
