How does it come off.

 

should be some allen type screws behind the airbag at the back of the wheel, un screw them then just unplug it but ensure you dont throw it about or bang it or it may go off mate

 

I usually disconnect the battery when i take these off. They recoment that you leave it for a while after that before taking the airbag off but i,ve never had a problem. I did my first one through the leaning in through the drivers side window i was so scared but they realy aren,t that bad .

you supposed to disconnect the battery if you do any work mate i know i been zapped enough times now to remember to always do it

 

Gonna have a dig at it in the morning as there's not enough room in my garage.Had a quick look before and i found a couple of small bolts in the back.Glad i stopped trying to pop that cover off.Cheers for the help lads,i've probably got the wrong boss on the replacement too but i'll know tomorrow.

 

IIRC the bolts are 5 or 5.5mm

 

5.5mm

 

IAlso make sure the unit comes off cleanly. had one where the white plastic bit with the contacts on stuck,then split . There,s what seems like miles of printed circuit type stuff inside that uncoils itself everywhere

 

i covered the main parts of fitting a diff wheel in the esc cos section mate, i should check it out before you even remove your wheel

 

how did you get on mate

 

Took the surround off,checked the posts on here again and read what Radman had to say.Realised i'm a bit short of bits so put it back together and took it for a blast instead.When you read all that it does'nt seem like an easy job.I was hoping it would be a loosen one and fit the other job.Might have to find a scrapper and see how it all comes apart without worrying if i'll get it back into the garage.Looks like back in the box for that rally Sparco job.I think my next failure will be the seats coming out.

 

Got any pics of your car?? Bit of a monster by all accounts ?

 

you dont need to take the surrounds off mate just turn the wheel till the holes are at the top and you can get the tools in that way i am sure

 

Sounds a good tip there.When i have another go i'll start this way but it looks like the rest will have to come apart anyway as i have the early Escos boss which wont mate with the later parts.Might check one out in the scrapper next Sat.
