Hi guys not sure if this has been covered but I couldn't find much useful info... just wondering if there are any reliable tyre shops preferably Adelaide Northern side or city area, just had a bad run with my regular place as they chipped my brand new rims in a few places, thanks!

thats going to be more the individual staff member rather than the shop on a whole, ask them to repair the damage they caused.

Even a recommended shop may put on a new apprentice who chips your rim.

Ray at bobjayne prospect.
honest dudes and good fitters.

always looked after me and did quality work.
they will do what you tell them if you have specific needs or a setup you want too, which is surprisingly hard to find.

I live down south and swear by the blokes at Tyrepower Morphett Vale (used to have the shop at Hackham for those playing at home)

but
my grandfather swore by the blokes at Tyres & More Prospect on prospect road while he was driving small delivery trucks, visited them a few times, very knowledgeable blokes, easy to talk to, very caring of the vehicle and fairly quick service/turn around.

I would certainly recommend them for people around the prospect sort of area.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      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

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
