I Want to Change My Steering Wheel On My 2002 Bugeye. can i change it to this from a 2003 STI? Is it just a straight swap or is it not possible?



Cheers

Its a straight swap, but the earth on airbag will need a new connector on it.

Craig,

There are 2 screw positions on both sides of the steering wheel body. Firstly disconnect the battery and wait for at least 1/2 min! You will then need a T30 Torx screwdriver or socket to remove the 2 screws. This will then allow the air bag module to be removed with the centre horn push section of the steering wheel. The wheel can then be removed with a 17mm socket from the steering column.

p.s paint the grey plastic section black, they look so cheap in silver!
