Then remove the 8mm bolts from each side




Gently remove the airbag assembly

Set air bag assembly aside


Disconnect the black plug

The new wheel comes fully assembled with wiring harness and everything!!


Attach new steering wheel


Connect Black plug


Torque 24mm nut to 45ftlbs


Reattach air bag/plugs....black to black and grey to grey


Gently slide the air bag assembly back into place, making sure holes are aligned....if you are really good you wont even honk the horn and scare the $hit out of yourself

Great write-up! Nice to see another GT here

I've been debating switching out my base steering wheel. It's sooo plain and cheap looking.

Nice! I'm installing a Sparco wheel and quick release setup soon, this will be useful.

Nice write up! That 24 mm bolt is one use, I had to buy a pack of four but they were only a few bucks each. I know some people reuse the bolt, I suppose it's OK but I wouldn't re-torque it any more than once.

I was debating on whether or not to post here, but there is so much good info, and I figure I have installed just about all of the Boss parts on my car anyway, so was hoping it was cool with everyone.

Yeah there are a few of us on here. I felt the same way... too much good info to pass up, especially if you're tracking your car.

No worries here, everyone is welcome. And nice job with the install instructions.

More than cool to post here, welcome and great writeup. I know some GTs that have been modded to be faster than some modded bosses :

Thanks! Yeah I had that experience the first time I took this car to the Memphis track. I got hooked up with a 2012 Boss Laguna Seca, and he was running R-compounds. I am uploading those videos now, will have to post them in new thread!

Good writeup. One important safety item to note:

When working with airbags, it is extremely important to never place the bag (or wheel with bag installed), face down on the ground or benches. If the bag were to go off it would go flying with its housing and the wheel.
