This week, we’re getting rid of that big ol’ nasty stock steering wheel for something better. Having the right steering wheel can make all the difference for your driving experience by clearing up some legroom and giving you something nice to hold onto while you drive. But how do you know what to buy? Where do you start? And how do you remove your old airbag without blasting your face off? We’ll show you the way!

  • Disconnecting the battery is often times not enough to disable the airbag. There are capacitors in the car holding charge for up to even a couple hours after the battery is disconnected to ensure the airbag works in the event the battery is disconnected in a crash. Also the airbag can trigger off of the most minimal volatage. So its best to wait an hour to be safe if your going to be disconnecting it.

    • cant you just short the battery wires together to discharge them?

      @inrg3688@inrg36884 жыл бұрын

    • Isn’t it the signal wire that the airbag runs off of and not just power? I would be honestly surprised if airbags actually fired during removal. I don’t have any experience to definitively say that they are safe or unsafe, but you do sit behind them all day, so I would be surprised that jiggling the wires would make them explode while nailing the horn doesn’t.

    • Howdy yall, long time tech here. If you're concerned about airbags popping while performing service on your vehicle, disconnecting the battery and shorting the positive and negative cables together (the battery is not in this loop!) Then attempting to start the vehicle will kill all residual electricity in the system. It's what I've done for years and has worked perfectly every time. I've done I have no idea how many Takata inflators. Just a tip for yall to help save some time.

  • FYI for all those saying you have to wait 30-60 min to discharge the battery: A fast-track way to discharge the capacitors and safely remove the air bag is to press the brake pedal a few times after you disconnect the battery. The brake lights typically will attempt to pull enough current to juice out any residual energy stored in vehicle capacitance. I do it all the time for my E36/E38/E39s with SRS service.

Watching these gives me an idea of all things to consider so I dont have to be as perfect as I usually try to be with things that shouldnt take so much brain power to choose. Thank you for the videos.

  • Just a a heads up if you are new to soldering. There is also solder with a lead core. Probably don't want to use that. Also, if you are soldering in your garage or really up close for an extended period of time, there are soldering exhaust extractors that you might also want. While it might not seem like a big deal, after years of soldering and breathing that in, it could cause respiratory issues.

  • chucking the oem wheel has been my first mod to all three miatas ive had so far. in the case of the second one, i ordered the hub before i even brought the car home. in the case of the third one, i took the hub off the second one immediately 😂. now im kinda obsessed with steering wheels and i have a stack of 15 or so at home that i change whenever i feel like it

  • Need to do the swap for every time doing MOT in Sweden. So, here are a couple of complementary details: * after disconnecting the battery, drain every lasting current by turning key to ignition position. That should send power to at least relays, fuel pump prime, lights and stereo. * when trying friends steering wheels, keep an eye on instrument panel, as the smaller wheels has a great chance to be in the sight of vision and hide tach and speedo partly. Adjust seat and check head-to-roof clearance too! Good luck with fixing those ergonomics! Written by a 1,85m long guy who feels so much better with Daikei hub, SnapOff FIA QR, 80mm dish 340mm wheel and slightly tilted back Sparco Sprint.

  • Make sure you clean that flux off that you used, leaving it there over time will promote corrosion as it prevents the metals from oxidizing creating a sacrificial protective layer (Think stainless or aluminium). Most solder today have a flux core so that you do not need to mess around with a separate flux.

  • Great video. One thing mentioned that is often overlooked. Wear a harness without a Hans device and if you hit something hard enough you will end up dead like Dale Earnhardt. Your body being held tightly by the harness and the weight of your head or head + helmet can separate your spinal column from your brain. No Bueno! If you are going the harness route and want to drive on the street, keep your seatbelt when not suited up for the track.
