If you're paranoid and think the government is going to steal your guns, whiskey, and your first love from grade school, then DO NOT post your VIN online!

Wait, they're not?

5/22, there was also no Loctite on the bolt. It is T60 if anyone was wondering.

Hey Paul,

Thank you for providing the size of the bolt... I couldn't find that info anywhere.

2023 MT here and have the same T60 bolt.

Im unable to untighten the t60 center bolt with a hand ratchet. It just turns the steering wheel when I attempt it. Mine seems to have blue loctite. I'm hoping am impact wrench will do the trick?

It is very hard. It took me 2 breaker bars to unscrew it and i thought I was going to break something. having another person to hold the steering wheel helps.

Do I just keep pulling this top away from the airbag, notice this rope looking like it's goes underneath the airbag

If you're just trying to change your steering wheel there's absolutely zero reason to be fucking with the airbag that much

Yeah...... I'd never reinstall that airbag on to a street car. You've gone too far.

That's the process to install the custom airbag covers that NitroYellowMKV sells with his steering wheels. I figured it out though.

16mm Strip be glad you don’t have one t60 are way more proper

What was the solution? For those attempting to change the airbag cover?

I second the above post as I am receiving my airbag cover soon. Looking for the best method to swap the cover without breaking anything.
