How to Remove the Steering Wheel of a Haima M6?
2 Answers
Use two flathead screwdrivers to insert into the holes at the back of the steering wheel in the opposite direction, and simultaneously apply force to release the airbag clamp, then unplug the airbag connector. Then remove the internal fixing screws to disconnect the steering wheel combination plug, and pull out the steering wheel horizontally.
I've helped a friend remove the steering wheel on a Haima M6 twice. First step is always to disconnect the negative battery terminal - just loosen the 10mm battery connector with a wrench. Then you'll need to deal with the airbag. There are small holes on both sides of the steering wheel's backside; use a T30 screwdriver to push in and release the clips. Carefully unplug the yellow airbag connector and horn wire. Next, use a 19mm socket wrench to loosen the large center nut (don't remove it completely!). The most crucial part is marking the steering wheel position - I use an oil-based pen to draw alignment marks on the steering column and wheel joint to prevent misalignment during reassembly. Finally, wiggle the wheel side to side while pulling evenly. If it's stuck, use a steering wheel puller. Always wear gloves to avoid oil contamination, and after removal, place the airbag face-up to prevent damage.
