Steering Wheel Removal
Ive tried for a few weeks now to take it off or find info onthe net so im ****ing fed up now. How to i take this off. Im at the point of taking the yellow and black prong things off the airbag but i cant get them to come off. Also,how do i remove the wire behind it which seemes clamped to the airbag.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier.
You should've googled it before attempting.
Pretty standard for all airbag equipped steering wheels need the power disconnected at the battery for a while before even touching it.
You ok?
Just scared the crap out of you at worst I hope.

There is a video for the 4th gen on youtube. Search for "remove maxima steering wheel". It is almost identical to the 5th gen, so watch it.
also, look in the steering section of the service manual - http://boredmder.com/FSMs/Nissan/Maxima/2001/ST.pdf

Make sure to disconnect ur battery for 10 min atleast so them air bags don't deploy.... yellow connectors are air bag ones so becareful not to damage em.

That doesn't look like a torx. My 02 has a security torx but the pic looks like a different type of security bolt with the center having a shape instead of just a round post. It looks similar to a locking lug nut.

Interesting, I'll have to check the 00 when the wife gets home. I deal with e-torx all the time and this doesn't look like one. It could be the light but this one seems to have an irregular shape with an irregular raised outer section that would prevent an e-torx socket from fitting over it.
I still think it looks like this type of security bolt where there's a specific socket for it.
