Got home, got one screw holding the airbag on and then the other side.. well that was a NIGHTMARE.
The screw was stripped to shit by the time I almost gave up on it. What do I do? Well, call Eric.. hahahaha he always has the answer to everything with cars. So he dropped by and we were at it for about half an hour until there was no use. We used a screw extractor and were close to JB-welding the allan key to the nut to turn it. Instead, Eric suggested we just drill the whole head out and then go from there.
We got the head out and now the body remained, so we tried taking that out but no avail. Instead, it was as simple as grabbing some needle nose pliers and just turning the body out. F*** Yes.
What should have been the simplest part turned out to be the hardest part. So we got the airbag out, disconnected it and removed the wheel. We attached the HBK hub on, put the steering wheel on and Eric connected the horn.
VOILA. What should have taken about 20 minutes took 2 hours. But it's all done and on now. I'm just waiting on the quick release now WOOT.
Here are pics of the wheel on.
Again, big thanks to Eric for helping me out on this.
