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.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
