Interior mods, what tools required. . .

Post by emo_luke »

Ok so I have had a quick search and not really come up trumps.

I have just come into possession of a corsa b, t reg :)

I am putting a momo millenium steering wheel on, I know i need to order the boss kit etc. Does anyone know what sockets sizes etc i will need to change the wheel and any complications etc . .

I would also like to fit a different handbrake lever cover and gear knob, how would I go about doing these things?

Cheers, I'm a joiner and not bad with spanners but don't want to start ripping into this and find I dont have and the equiptment to finsh the job!!

the handbrake and gearstick gaiters should just unclip.

Have you got a driver's airbag? If you have it's possible but tricky.

If you haven't again it's possible (i've done it!) but still a bit tricky. You have to remove the horn centre etc and then you can see the inside mechanism. The problem starts when you try to remove the old wheel!

You need a special tool that locks into the back section of the steering wheel through two holes inside. IT's called a steering wheel puller. Not sure of the price. In the end (think it was my Godparent) made me a steering wheel puller out of bolts (with edges filed down) and welded together etc.

If you've got the corsa performace haynes manuel it tells you in there. If not halfords sell it for £20! Tells you all sorts of stuff including replacing your steering wheel and yourgear and handbrake knobs etc.
