Hey Cam,

Nah man pulling it off was easy - if you've got the '95 model with the airbag in it, they're prone to the clunking noise, there's actually a rubber mounted cast iron weight in there, over time the rubber obviously degrades and leaves the iron weight to clunk around - pain in the ass it was!

So I ripped out the weight (after a few months of searching for the tool!)

managed to find a Torx Tamperproof Socket set T10 up to T60 i believe (1/4" and 3/8") :)

thanks again Kym for the offer of a lend :) thought i'd pick them up seeing as i might need them for something in the future and you can never have too many tools.

if anyone needs a lend of a socket let me know :D

Strich - did you have any problems pulling off the steering wheel? Mine's making a wicked heavy clunking noise. Hope the airbag don't go off in the meantime! :)

Hey guys I posted the thread on this year ago..and I do have the tools....

Bought them from Repco as a set for $19....

The airbag is safe . It sits inside its own compartment and this weight sits suspended above it.

One thing I noticed over time without it the steering wheel vibrates with the car. Not noticable with the weight on. This is not fixable as you have to get a new steering , can't weld rubber :)

what tool does it take to get a 95 streering wheel off with an airbag, its making that clunking noise and i had to rip the fuse out cos it kept turning on the horn around corners...?

Will the airbag bust out if i take the steering wheel off?

Tamperproof T50 socket, i should be doing this to mine in the next week or so, i'll see how i go with it :)

disconnect the battery and take care with the airbag.

You don't need to disconect the battery, its a mechanical issue. Nothing electrical you will get near no sensors or anything.

    • Take a couple of the big ones back to "work", leave them in the big bin.   Will make a good boom when the garbage truck emptys it out... I've heard from another source about the boom when they had put I believe it was a 4cylinder engine in the big bins at Richmond base...
    • That idea has crossed my mind, I do a 5km walk everyday, this does take me past some bushland......I think you may be onto something 😉  That, plus 1 rock on every bin night might do the trick, it may take a year, but it could save me a couple of grand The only issue is the big 'Boonies", I have a few that weigh around 30-40kg, maybe they should be the first to go into the raised garden bed,  and then let the next owner deal with them....my daughter gets the joint when I kick the bucket, mums the word mate......LOL Noice......
    • Wow. Did you call the car a Nissan Skyline?
    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
