hello everyone, an RB26, or RB25 project in the medium long term. I don't know much about this engine or turbo engines in general, I'm here to understand and gain knowledge. I have specific objectives for a project
In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car.
The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in
From there I just swapped the wiring over.
What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel....
Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip.
Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut
Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
