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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm replacing my 4 spoke airbag wheel next week with a three spoke airbag wheel. Assuming I take all preautions - disconnect the battery, move the key away, and am aware of the risks of working with an air bag - is this an easy DIY? Looks it. Thanks!

POST 2Original post

Is this an easy DIY? Yes, pretty straight forward and a great upgrade. Below link is to the thread that I posted when I did the mod back in early 07. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/331728-steering-wheel-and-shift-knob-mod.html

POST 3Original post

Very simple mod. I did it this summer in about an hour. The hardest thing is finding a thin shaft torx bit to remove your 4 spoke steering wheel. Also be careful about the tabs on your clock spring. They are very flimsy (as me how I know this). Over all, one of the easiest DIY's I did on my car so far.
