Help I'm a simpleton!

[hampton]

Right, need take the airbag bulb out of the clocks for tommorow;) Got the steering wheel shroud off, but unlike the astra's there's no screws in the clock surround/shroud! yes i maybe a simpleton but i dont want to rag them off, anyone any ideas how to safely take them off without damaging it?

Even put a pic up incase i dont make sense!

Can't see this working as afaik they look for abs light on, on ignition then wait to see if it goes out...

Maybe wrong though but pretty sure this is the case, remember my dad having similar hassle with one of his discovery's..

my old man will be mot'ing it, he says it will fail if the air bag fault light is on, therefore the bulb needs to come out for tommorow, plus its doing my t!ts in being on all the time!

Won't take 2 secs as soon as the shroud is off

Ahh right fair enough - what car is it again?

[mike137]

didnt think the airbag is a problem, with it being an auxillary safety feature?

mine has never failed for not having one!

[hampton]

Its a cavalier

It won't be a problem if 1. They weren't factory fitted or 2. there is no signs of a fault

Thanks mick
