I had recently bought, a TRD steering wheel, because I recon it looked fricken awesome, but I have never tooken a steering wheel off before, any advice on what needs to be done? maybe deactivate air bags?, some inside panels I need to take off to get to come bolts or something?, alternatively, if anyone knows of somewhere cheap to do this that would be great but $100 would be match just for a steering wheel :/

I am in Brisbane QLD any info would be greatly appreciated

Don't forget to unplug your battery and wait about 20min before disconnecting your airbag.

You'll possibly need a suitable boss kit too? Though being TRD it might just fit I guess. If you have a drivers side airbag, you will automatically fail RWC by fitting this - at least so I'm told.

Thanks Simon and Matthew, why would it fail rwc? On the description it says it functions with airbags as the center trd flips out I'm guessing and aslong as it works there's no problem but am I missing anything? And it said in description it would fit straight onto a soarer supra and so on as it is a universal wheel but thanks for the help so far what els do I need?

Yeah doesn't look like it has an airbag. You also might loose your cruise control unless you find a boss kit that supports it.

Tools Needed

-Small flathead screw driver
-T30 Torx bit
-19mm ratchet
-Pen/marker
-Steering wheel puller

Very true Warren.

It's TRD 'style'.

Bomex style, Vertex style, TRD style, Doggie style.

Gotta be careful with those Cheap rip off wheels mate, could mean life or death in a crash. Also Removing a Factory steering wheel with an air bag and replacing with one without an air bag is illegal. And wont pass rwc im assuming?
