I assume theres screws behind it and pretty much just keep taking stuff off until my old wheel comes off..? Any advise/tips would be much appreciated.Thanks Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/61285-who-has-fitted-a-fpv-steering-wheel/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 3m 29d Posted 05/09/09 11:11 AM Share Posted 05/09/09 11:11 AM T30 TORX BIT. Turn the steering wheel 90degrees and you will see one screw,then turn 90degrees the other way and you will see the other screw. Pull the airbag off and unplug cruise and radio switches and airbag. Loosen off t50 torx bit then wiggle steering wheel off before completly taking t50 bolt out.Hope this helps.
