I know the SE airbag has the whole in the middle unlike the GXE/GLE airbags, but will the steering wheel from an SE fit the GXE/GLE airbags??? I can't remember if someone on here said it will work??

 

that is a good question always wondered about it.

 

yes it will....been there done that

 

How hard is it to swap the steering wheel? I would really like to get an 97-99 SE steering wheel on my car.

 

Kingrukus,

its is quite simple...once the airbag is out..there is a 18mm/19mm bolt that holds on the steering wheel...and thats it...once removed...it is over and done with

 

Hmm...ok well maybe the bigger problem is removing the existing airbag then? Is it difficult to transplant the airbag from one wheel to the other?

Also what about the cruise control buttons? Is it a simple plug in harness that works on all wheels?

 

removing the airbag is not tough if you have the torx bits....once you remove the cruise, its got u screws...phillips then unplugs...the wiring is all the same. Airbag should fit with no problem but most importantly, unplug your battery...for a bit, then go ahead and start dismantling the steering wheel/bag

 

how bout for a 96? will a 97-99 wheel work on it?

 

me wondering too

 

yeah, I'm sure the '95/96'ers on here are wondering that too...is the 97-99 SE steering wheel thicker, or does it just look different?

 

Don "Pearl96max" i believe had this swap done on his 96 max a while back...

...the wheel itself is much thicker and alot sportier looking compared to the 95-96 wheel.

Ant

 

yeah the se wheel rules

 

I have the 97se wheel on my 95 gxe..(my sig) You will need to modify the 97 steering wheel in order to get it to fit the 95. The Airbag clock springs are different and you have to accomodate for that. I can't remember where the pics are that describe that, but its obvious when you have both steering wheels and the clock spring...

 

how'd you get around that issue?

 

get a dremel, and continue to test fit until you've cut enough of the steel for proper fitment
