Suggestion

All the articles I have read say to remove the key before you disconnect the battery, the service manual says to leave the key in.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I'm planning on replacing my steering wheel tonight assuming I get my 12 mm, 1/2" Drive, Triple Square Metric Bit Socket in the mail today. All the articles I have read say to remove the key before you disconnect the battery, the service manual says to leave the key in. Does it even matter?

POST 2Original post

i disconnected the battery yes, leave the key in in case your steering wheel locks. but not a big deal I got my 12 star hex key at sears. Push on the air bag when you try to pop it out. DO NOT PULL.

POST 3Original post

Thanks Tomasz, your comment on the article pointed me in the right direction re the key, I could only find the kit at Sears for $60, I was able to find the 12 mm key for $10 + $7.50 shipping at toolrage.com. I practiced on my replacement wheel, so I think I'll be good to go.

POST 4Original post

I am pretty sure I paid the $60. Was anxious to get the wheel on. Now I have a set that I never use... I used the articles. The only hint - is push the airbag in while trying to pop it out. It helps the bracket to open.

POST 5Original post

All the steering wheel instructions I've seen are for the sport wheel. Do the instructions differ at all for the non-sport (triangular airbag) wheel? Specifically, is there still a small hole on the back of the lower spoke where I press to remove the airbag? Also, can I still leave the trim piece in place to remove the airbag? Thank you! Kevin

POST 6Original post

There isn't a difference in the regular and sport steering wheel. Get a medium sized screw driver that fits in the hole. Turn the blade vertical and push up. It may take a few tries but it will come loose.

POST 8Original post

I went to Sears yesterday, they had a Torx kit for $29.95. Does the T55 bit work? I bought the tech carbon wheel from Suncoast . Anyone interested in the carbon shifter and e-brake handle? Trim in stone grey.

POST 9Original post

A torx T55 was used in this article GT3 Steering Wheel Install
