You'll definitely notice. When holding the wheel straight you'll be going right. It's pretty much like the car is it out of alignment.Originally Posted by danewilson77

I got my wheel back today and installed. Here is a shot showing the correct angle to go in at the release springs. You can faintly see the screwdriver inside the wheel and notice that you're actually pushing on the inner arm of the spring (looks like a safety pin) to release the airbag.

After I installed my airbag I noticed it wasn't sitting evenly all the way around the wheel so I had to remove the airbag and adjust the top 2 of the 3 torx screws that hold that plate that contains the airbag springs. Had to tighten one a bit and loosen the other a bit. If I was to do this again I would probably just leave that piece on the wheel and just remove the 2 wiring harnesses from it so I wouldn't have to mess with adjusting that piece.
Out of curiosity I tried to find that piece that contains the airbag springs on Realoem and didn't have any luck. Anyone else able to find it? Would suck to break that piece somehow and have to buy a new wheel to get one!
Other than that everything went smooth. Something else I should mention, when I removed my wheel I used my Makita cordless impact wrench on the center bolt. Worked great for removing the bolt. I'd assume if using a ratchet on it you'd have to be careful breaking it loose so you don't damage the steering lock mechanism.
Looks awesome! Can't wait to get my shift knob back from getting it wrapped in Alcantara.
I'll post a separate thread about the re-wrap later, might wait till I get my shift knob back.

One more......
And NO AIRBAG LIGHT!!Not yet anyway. I've read of some people getting an airbag fault light even though they unhooked the battery before removing the bag. I haven't actually started the car yet so I'm hoping it doesn't have to be started before it will throw a fault.
Hoping to get it out for a drive tomorrow. It's supposed to be perfect conditions for a winter drive without having to worry about sloppy/salty roads.

Do you know why? Was it from removing the airbag with the battery still connected?
Thanks guys!

I disconnected the battery when i swapped wheels. I had the intermittent airbag light from the seat occupancy sensor before, but it's always on now.
