Yeah if there is no airbag then go right ahead....

Just a little tip..... loosen the nut but do not remove it entirely. Then start to pull on the wheel intill it comes loose and then remove the nut and slide it off.

You'll thank me for the tip when you don't end up with a semi black eye from the steering wheel hitting you across the bridge of the nose. :o Don't ask..... it was back in the days of my '71 Capri

Good tip :thumbsup:.

If you need to remove an airbag then cant you remove the wheel all in one shot?

ok cheers guys..

what i used to do was recline the seat all the way back.. so when i pull the wheel off with massive force i just kinda fall back instead of hitting myself in the face

:p

If there's an air bag, its illegal to replace the steering wheel with a momo, right?

yup

but i dont think EDs/EF's ever came with airbag steering wheels - so this shouldnt be a problem.
