What state are you in Ross? I’m in the Orlando Florida area. I want my current steering wheel (wooden) removed from my ‘99 9-5SE that I’m sadly ready to junk, and eventually installed in my ‘98 900SE (If that’ll work). I don’t want to give that steering wheel away, it’s way too nice. I’m not very mechanically inclined, nor do I have the needed tools to do this removal myself. I thank you for this video.
Ooo yeah, those wooden ones are fairly valuable to those that like them! The splines are the same for 9-5 to OG9-3 so I'm tempted to say it'll work for '98 as it's only 1 year off from a '99 (which I know firsthand is compatible). Sorry to hear about the 9-5s journey to Valhalla. Are you saying you're looking for a hand in the Orlando area? Oddly I was just in FL last week lol
Saab Ross Darn! I would’ve paid you (of course) to take it off. I called the local Saab experts, but they don’t do mobile service and I can’t drive it to them as there’s no tag (license plate) on the car, and if I put an old tag on it, that’ll be the day the cops will be right behind me with my lousy luck. Thanks anyway!
Yep. Look at 4:40. Remove the two torx bits for the plastic cowling around the wheel and once off the one(?) bolt for the clock spring will be visible. I tell you this off the top of my head, but it should be fairly simple to replace.
Thank You! Any recomandations when it comes to using the steering wheel as decoration? Especially considering the airbag
Other than hanging it on the wall like a deer trophy? No.
Like your videos. Make em longer =)

Does the clock spring pull right out? I have to change one.
