Has anyone got a guide for replacing the wiper stalk ?!

Simple as battery off
Remove airbag
Remove steering wheel
Remove three screws holding on the stalk setup
Remove indicator stalk
Remove wiper stalk

Refit in reverse order

Thank you, legend as always mr Perkins

I have found removing the air bag to be a total pain. Is there a knack??

Dont try too hard to do it. Its a very easy task

I normally remove the cowling under the steering wheel, turn the wheel so the hole is in the accessible in the middle underneath, then put a flat blade screwdriver in at a sloping angle, with the highest point under the steering column, and lowest point on the steering wheel i.e. wheel hole / steering column then you just gently click it - youll feel the catch. Its very easy to release

Once you pop one off, put a screwdriver in under where the horn press is to stop it clicking back in, and turn the wheel around and do the other clip

Yeah it's that part that stopped me progressing ha I got too frustrated and had to stop il try again at the weekend.
