It is "mechanical" type of airbag, and you will not pass warrant fittning aftermarket steering wheel.

Why do you want to change it anyway? The factory one is perfectly fine! :D

should be some screws at the back of the steering wheel which when undone will allow the airbag unit to lift out and be unpluged which will allow access to the big nut holding the wheel on

just remember you are handling a bomb so dont go banging it with a screwdriver or anything

and when the warrent guy turns on your key and see the air bag light but no airbag you will fail the warrent, but i suppose you could always put it back on or take out the bulb :wink:

thanks for your advices.

Well, I tried that, but at the back of the steering wheel, htere are only two tiny holes. I tried with a screwdriver into it, but seems nothing wants to come out. anyway i will try it again tonight!

also, my car is a 1996, Levin BZG, anyone here got the same model of the car and replaced the steering wheel? Please please tell me how to do it!
