I bought a sport steering wheel for my 05 S40... I wanted to install it myself, but before I do that ... i wanna know if it will be easy? IDK if i should take it to the dealership instead...? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

az

 

dealership might not do it because the air bag will be removed....

i would consider it a do it ur self job. not that hard to do at all, and as far as getting the dang thing off autozone has a puller u can rent for free.

 

Never had a steering wheel off one of those, but be careful of air bag if your going to do it yourself. I would take it to a dealer. What steering wheel are you replacing it with?

 

i'm replacing the stock wheel with the sport one.

Is that a accessory from volvo, or somwhere like ipd. Looks good though. Like i said, be careful with the air bag.

 

it's an oem steering wheel.

i suppose, before i decide to do it myself... i'll call and get price quotes

 

ooooo. when you said sport i thought you ment like a momo wheel.

ya its a plug and play system assuming you have all the parts and such.

 

I think this is what you are looking for http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MOMO-...61310002r10890

 

Hmm... so you think, with the right tools of course, that this installation is no biggy?

 

Should be easy! Hardest thing would be taking the airbag out of the old wheel...

 

yeah, you're right. i hope i don't mess that up! i'd hate to put my life at jeopardy all for the cosmetics of a steering wheel!!

 

It's $375 plus you will need an airbag. Pretty pricey for a cosmetic mod which I have considered as well.

 

i see... i'm guessing that's just for labor, in your area? i already have the airbag and the steering wheel....

 

Anytime you get near an airbag. Seats, steering wheel etc.

Much less chance of a unintended deployment. I would probably start the car from the passenger seat the first time as well... Just in case of BOOM.
