ATTENTION:

1) The kit is pre-assembled, there is no need to unscrew the 5 Allen screws.
2) Carry out the procedure after disconnecting the battery, to avoid lights coming on at the end of the work.
3) It is not necessary to park with the wheels straight, because the ribbed has only a possible orientation, determined by 3 thicker teeth that act as markers.
4) Handle cables with care. Also avoid accidentally pulling them from the connector from which they start on the machine, otherwise you may hear a “click” while steering, at the end of the installation. In this case, the airbag must be re-disassembled and the cables must be gently pushed against the rotating sensor, so that they are not stretched.

PROCEDURE.

There are many videos on Youtube that illustrate how to disassemble the steering wheel. It is enough to see one of a few minutes to get an idea and simplify the whole operation.

Installing the spacer boils down to slipping it onto the steering column before reassembling the steering wheel.

1) Remove the airbag, which, depending on the model, can be fixed by 2 torx screws behind the steering wheel (in this case, unscrew them) or by two metal clamps that are unlocked by accessing from the side, from the holes provided on the steering wheel, with a flat screwdriver in which, for convenience, it is better to point grind to obtain a “C” profile that facilitates the grip on the clips.
2) Disconnect all connectors, starting with the airbag connector, and temporarily keep the airbag in a safe place away from everyone. For example, the back seat. Do not pull on the “force” connectors, as each one has a small, elastic plastic safety device, which intuitively must be unlocked at the moment.
3) Unscrew the central screw that holds the steering wheel to the steering column. Do not unscrew it completely and pull the steering wheel to unlock it. In fact, it can happen that after years, the steering wheel and the steering column, having never been disassembled, “glue” each other and the steering wheel could suddenly come off and hit your face, and even tear the cables. If you leave the screw loose but still engaged, it will act as a stopper that will allow you to axially unlock the steering wheel without it being pulled out suddenly and violently.
4) Once the steering wheel has slided on the steering column, remove the screw and the steering wheel, passing all the cables through the slot provided. The connectors must be passed one by one, because together they do not pass through.
5) At this point, it is necessary to extend the airbag cables (one or two depending on the model), because they will be too short when reconnecting it. If there are two cables, FIRST cut and lengthen one (5 centimeters are enough), and once the first one is finished, proceed with the other, in this way you will avoid exchanging them with the consequent obvious harmful effects on the operation of the airbag.
6) Insert the spacer into the column, passing the cables and connectors through the internal slot. From now on, put the steering wheel back on the car as if you were standing in front of the steering column. In fact, the steel part of the spacer faithfully reproduces it. Tighten the central screw and keep the original aluminum torx aside, in case of future need.
7) Reconnect the battery.
