Default Anyone live near blackpool who's removed a Fiesta MK6 steering wheel airbag?

Help needed guys and girls

Is there anyone near blackpool who could give me a hand with removing my wheel airbag?

I have been struggling with it all day and I know it will be a two minute job for someone who has done one before.

I will happily give some beer money for your time

Si

There are two springs you have to prise open.

I have had me, my dad, a mate and even my misses trying it today but to no luck as I am trying to fit a flocked dash. Everyone I talk to who has done it says it is quite easy as well but Im sure that is to wind me up lol

Alan, how long did it take me to do yours? Can get the whole wheel off in less than 5mins I reckon. Takes all day the 1st time then after that it's a piece of piss
