SpeedDemon Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 ok guys there are only 2 pages of info on wheel installation and none of them answered my question. i want to install a momo wheel and hub on my hatch but am running into issues. so far here is what ive got disconnect battery for 30 to avoid airbad deploy remove plastic wheel cover remove both side plastic covers and remove screws for airbag removal ---(whilst hiding under the steering wheel on the floorboard lol) disconnect all wires inside wheel remove spindle nut now attach the momo hub but here is my problem. i want to retain both my horn and cruise control. i have only found one tutorial and its for an itr integra so i know i have to ground the male end on the connector plate and that i will have to jump the from the first to third pin on the srs plug so the light stays out. but how do i go about retaining cruise control? i cant seem to find out anywhere? o and pics help bunches lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 you know what, just because im so pissed off at this steering wheel im gonna go triple post. but anyways here is where i am stuck at. i cant get the yellow and black plate off at all. cant figure it out. haynes manual doesnt say how to either. and it has to come off in order for the momo hub to fit onto the spline. anyone know how to get it off?! :bash: :chair: :mad: :rant: :rant: :rant: oh btw im making a step by step tutorial with pics, so whoever helps me with this step gets their name in the tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTiS Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 have you tried taking the cover around the black yellow part off? to expost switches and yada yada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 yeah i tried but couldnt get the plastic shields apart. took all three screws out too. what worries me is that i cant mount the hub when the yellow/black plate is there because the hub wont even reach the spline with it in the way. confuses the hell outta me. im gonna try again tomorrow morning too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 you have to pinch the bottom or top and pull on the bottom while tapping your head and rubbing your belly and dancing on your toes, its f*cking retarded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pballer2005 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 and click your heals together 3 times and say there's no place like home. i'm just playing around. but yeah you have to pinch one half of the trim piece, and sorta push it down and kinda work the little tabs around. it's hard to explain but once you get it you'll be able to do it over again. its basically the same as any other plastic tab/clip, but you can't see anything.

SpeedDemon Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 well its fine getting down to the plastic covers. the screws come out easy but its a bitch getting it apart. probably gonna attempt it in a bit with dad here so idk....still a little hung over though....

SpeedDemon Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 so i got the plastic covers off....just those damn little plastic clips like i thought...but still dont see how that damn plate comes off?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 haynes manual or honda service manual should have something in there about taking all the stuff apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 nope, haynes manual only goes to the plate. but i took everything apart and i can not do the momo wheel. the cruise,horn, and airbag are hard wired into the plate and it has to stay on or i lose all that. airbag of course. horn is a must. and CC is w/e so im just not going to do it. so the hub and wheel is up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedDemon Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 wire the horn with a separate relay and button. really easy to do and you can run the wires however you like hard part is that it is all in one wide band strip. and its just not worth the hassle for me. ill just sell the hub and wheel and use that money towards my clutch kit its funny cause once the plate comes off the wideband strip goes up into the steering column. so i woul dhave to cut and splice the strip to even get it to work. so ill wait and get an ITR wheel down the road, because that is all plug and play lol...and it looks better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
