  • More help please guys re: fitting wheel

    Hi,

    Got wheel yesterday so thought i'd have a blast at fitting it today with an equal incompetant mate.

    Got the air bag removed to expose this:



    Couldnt see anything that just clips off so undid the main bolt

    Wheel came off with gubbings still attached to the back inc all wires. Tried to remove the bit that turns (slipring??) but had to remove the whole back (well, as far as i could see) which was still attached to the wiring




    The bit that turns:


    and the gubbings



    back of new wheel:



    anyway, please help if you can, if not, then it'll have to be a trip down to indy. Thinking i may need a new slipring thingy

    cheers

    By the looks of things, you have split the slip ring there which you're not really supposed to do; it should unbolt off t he back of the old wheel and maybe bolt straight on to the new one.

    Thoe threee phillips screws on the back of the new wheel; what do they hold on? they may be to screw the slip ring on to that.

      thought i may have gone too far,

      The three philips you mention where not on the same PCD as the new wheel. This makes me think that i may need a new slipring. I did get it off in one but there was no way it was fitting on the new wheel cos of the differing PCD's.

      I will have a look on realoem later and see if there are different sliprings.

      cheers
