Steering wheel for a DEL SOL

[crxdude]

Just wondering how would i take the steering wheel off? its starting to make a squeek noise and i want to get rid of it

[tRipitaka]

assuming it's an oem non-srs steering wheel..



pry the honda emblem off..

and there'll be a bolt there.. i believe it's size 20 ? or somewhere around there..

grab a ratchet, socket, extension.. and undo the bolt..

you should be able to take the wheel off now..



just a warning though..
i've read that it's better to undo the bolt.. but leave it on near the end, so when you're pulling the steering wheel off, it won't hit you in the face..
but this never happened to me.. so good luck :thumbsup:

']dont del sols have air bag ?
2nd gen (96+) delsols do..
1st gen (92-95) don't..

Hey Man,
Yours is a 93 model so is a not Air Bag wheel?

If so it is pretty easy. From memory as it was a while since I took it of my Delsol, the front center panel just pulls off. After that you can access the nut that will disconnet the wheel from the column. There maybe a wire to disconnect the horn.

they didnt have an airbag in the 92 "delsol", but newer ones did, not sure when they started exactly i think it was 94

edit: damn too slow

[JasonGilholme]

Yeah i think they added them in around about 93/94 ish.

I think it would be similiar to either an eg civic, ek civic or a dc2 integra.

exactly the same as the non-srs eg civic.. exactly the same wheel too..

fairly different from the ek civic or dc2

trust me.. use a flathead screwdriver and pry it off..

it'll come off with a little persistance and a few beeps of the horn

[JasonGilholme]

You should be able to tell if your car has an air bag just by looking at it.

I think there are some stickers on the underside of the bonnet regarding the SRS system so if those stickers are there you should have an airbag.

Theres probably a better way to check tho.

if you have a 93 delsol, you have no airbags..

96+ have airbags.
