Smile Part For Changing Steering Wheel

Hey Guys, Was Just Wondering What The Part For Changing Over The Steering Wheel..Am FINALLY Getting The Metallic Blue MOMO Wheel!
I Think It's Called A "Torx" Something.... Ford Wanna Charge Me About 90 Bucks To Do It And I Doubt It Would Take An Hour To Do.

This is what you need:- Anti-Tamper 5 point torx head, size T30. I bought a set for about $28 last week.

You'll need a T50 sized Torx bit. Most screwdriver bit kits, stop at T45 (I've used a T45 it'll do the job), but a T50 can be had from hardware stores, or specialist fastener stores.

Yep you need a T50 to remove the wheel and the 5 point tamper proof to get the airbag off. I just use one of those flat blade with a notch missing security bits. Cheaper and more available. Just make sure you get a decent one otherwise you'll snap it.

Also some places want wayyy too much for a T50. I got a set from Trade Link for under $30.

Don't give them the money.

This will give you a rundown on the job involved.

I still have all the sockets/torx bits you need at home and will be home most of the weekend. Could do it tonight if you contact me soon enough.

PM me if you would like me to swap it over for you. I live at the north end of the Gold Coast or the southside of Brisbane. Depends which way you look at it.
