hey guys, i have a 96 model and i really want to put in a 12" aftermarket steering wheel, but as i read it's against the law cause i have to remove the airbag, but i still really want to do this. I'm prety sure some of you guys have done it before and i was wondering if there is any writeups for it, AND WHERE do i get the conversion HUB from? can you guys please help me out?!

 

ebay is your friend for everything.as for the write-up it shud be around here somewhere. Going without airbag is pretty much up to you.Didnt even know it wa illegal.

 

PM AuToMaX_95 for steering wheels and hubs. he can get Momo's and i believe Sparcos too.

 

Pick up a Haynes at your local Autoparts store, or download the FSM for free and read up. It's a very simple procedure granted you have a T50 tamper proof torx bit. You may need a steering wheel puller, you may not (Some orgers have reported the wheel simply pulls off, where I needed the steering wheel puller). Also, use the free search here, this topic has been covered a handful of times in the last few weeks. This will give you further insight of what needs to be done.

FWIW, I'm using a NRG quick disconnect release with a NRG short hub adapter. The cheaper option would be to just get the standard non-detachable MOMO hub or Sparco hub like Mr. **** suggested. I purchased everything from Crower's Customizing found on ebay.

 

Also, don't forget to disconnect the battery first and wait a few minutes. Then disconnect the yellow airbag connector under the steering column before proceeding with the actual steering wheel removal. Safety first.
