Hi,

I've bought a post '97 airbag type steering wheel but I have been informed that it won't bolt straight onto my Corsa and that I need an 'airbag boss' or 'squib'.

Could someone who has fitted one to their Corsa please, please tell me how you did it??

Thanks.

remove the front of you current wheel, undo pull slightly (not all the way) wack it off with your hands of buy sterring wheel puller.

The wheel is off.

Put squib on, put wheel on top and bolt up.

Plug squib into you're loom.

Problem comes with the cowling, a Airbag cowling wont fit a non-airbag column, And a non-airbag cowling wont fit over the squib.
(The lock barrel on your non-airbag is at a angle, whereas airbag columns have the barrel straight out the side)
