[Emma_ZS]

well i cut it where the manual said!

[Predator_R32]

a wouldnt of cut my carpet like, would of just lifted to see were it was or felt were it was lo, you sure there isnt anything there

[Emma_ZS]

Yes my brother cut all the way under the console

[Predator_R32]

hmmmmm was the airbag light on before you did this??

[Emma_ZS]

well i am trying to put another wheel on and it says to do this thing before i do anything else. But if it isnt there what am i suppose to do

[potatopete]

Thats unlucky matey. Is it a mess? What you gonna do with it?

[Emma_ZS]

the cut is hidden by the console

[Predator_R32]

well if theres not one there dont bother lol, the way i did it was to disconnect the battery for half an hour then do the wheel, while the wheels off you can tape over the airbag light in the dials console but if the light dont come on then someone must of took the airbag ecu out

[Predator_R32]

oh also is it a standard wheel or aftermarket one your fiting

[Emma_ZS]

thats what i did and taped the air bag light over,

what haynes you using, the max power one???

[Emma_ZS]

yes it is

[Steve]

haynes proper one says 10 mins!

[Predator_R32]

yeah says 10mins but i like to be sure lol

and throw that damn max power manual in the bin lol, they should no better

[Emma_ZS]

well if i disconnect the battery and go to take the steering wheel off, are you SURE the airbag won't go off? my brother is a sissy lol

[Predator_R32]

very sure mate, disconnect for at least 10 mins then go for it, and when you take the airbag off put it some were it cant get knocked and in a cool dry place

mines been off about 6 times and i still take it off about a mile away from thecar lol

[Emma_ZS]

ok i will blame you if it goes off lol

[Predator_R32]

ok mate dont worry im 99.9% sure it wont go off in ya face
