Got a good deal on a couple of wheels/hubs so I decided to grab 'em and do the install.

The Goods

 

STEP 1 : OEM PREPARATION AND BATTERY

Ensure that you center your steering wheel before beginning installation and (most importantly) disconnect the battery. Allow some time to pass so the electric can drain out of the system. You can hold the brake down to assist this.

STEP 2 : REMOVE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY

Pop the plastic covers off the side of the OEM steering wheel with a flat surface. This exposes the T30 tamper proof screws for the airbag assembly. Use a T30 tamper proof bit to remove these (if you have works bell items they provide the T30 tool, so don't buy a set like I did)


Slowly side the airbag assembly out. This is why the electric was drained. You DO NOT want this blowing up in your face.


Disconnect the airbag assembly wiring harness clips.

 

STEP 3 : INSTALL PROVIDED AIRBAG RELAYS / UNPLUG OEM HARNESS

Works Bell Provided Relays (Keeps Airbag Light Off)


Push the airbag relay in and close the clips.


OEM Harness Locations


Unclip these for use with the hub.


STEP 4 : REMOVE OEM STEERING WHEEL

Use 19mm Long Socket to Remove the Center Nut
Wiggle the Steering Wheel Off

 

STEP 5 : INSTALL HUB

Plug provided harness into OEM location.


Place hub on, center the assembly. Pull wiring through opening.


Replace center nut.

 

STEP 6 : INSTALL QUICK RELEASE

Coil Wires in the Hub


Place Grounding Ring Between Hub and Quick Release (wire to ground tab and quick release connection)


Secure Quick Release with Allen Screws

 

STEP 7 : INSTALL QUICK RELEASE AND STEERING WHEEL

Place the other half of the quick release on.


Place ground ring between quick release and steering wheel.


Use allen screws to secure steering wheel to quick release. Ground black wire and connect red wire to horn.

 

STEP 8 : CONNECT BATTERY AND TEST

Test the horn and functionality of the steering wheel/quick release.

 

How do you like vs oem? And paddle shifters? Feel same distance? I too am thinking og new wheel with my 7at and paddles

 

I like the two Personal wheels that I have a lot. They feel solid and more comfortable than the OEM. I also like that I can interchange either depending on my mood/driving. The paddles do feel a little further back but you can still easily blip them with you finger tips and I do not have giant hands.

 

Sweet. Thanks for the feedback. I went With a nardi classic wheel! Ill post some pics thisweekend

 

 

^ Looks good! What paddles are those? Do they come out closer to the wheel?

 

GTR competition paddle shifters
By 1320performance

They are definitely closer.

Thanks man.

 

Hmmm, I may have to pick some up. The price tag looks a lot better than some of the other options out there. (Still a little steep for paddles though haha)

 

250 on ebay. Make offer for like 200 im sure theyll bite!
