Anyone know where I can get funny shape lock nut key for removing the two screw on the side of the steering wheel???

I'm tryinug to replace the broken one with a new one I bought, anyone got any tips for removal?? I'm sure I need to disconnect the battery first but then what?

You need a torx bit to undo the screws that hold the airbag ( T50 if i remember right).Take the bag off then you can see the nut that holds the wheel on the shaft, undo that and depending on how tight the wheel is on the taper you may/maynot need a gear puller . You can buy the bit you need from any tool shop , either one or a set .

If you have a live airbag on your wheel be very careful, disconnect the battery and DON"T have your head close the the wheel at anytime ..

Farking hell,$45 for a set of Torx key that im gonna use only once...........oh well.....time to get to work.

well you might get away with a pair of vice grips if you can get them around it. But $45 is too much for a set keep looking....did you try superdoopercheap or bunnings...

too late, bought it already....i can be very impulsive when I want to fix something........probably sell off the rest on Ebay or something.
