INT: honda Prelude steering wheel conversion on 90-91 cb
I want to do this on my 92 but i dont really understand everything i need to do the swap. I know i need a resistor or to remove the bulb and to use washers but thats about it. All i have is the steering wheel. can i make this work?
I am aware it is unsafe to remove the airbag.
If anyone can post about their airbag removal, I'd like to know how you swapped it all out as well. It just looks too sexy to pass up. It's such a nice little interior upgrade, especially for the price!
Also, great pics in here guys!!

Removing the airbag is simple. Disconnect your battery, and let the car sit for about 10-15 mins to discharge any electrical current. Sometimes tampering with the airbag can deploy it.
Remove your steering wheel, take the airbag out and there's like a long spirally ribbon thing. Pull it all out and anything connected to it.
Done it twice, but can't recall much detail on what exactly there is to remove. Just follow the parts and pull it apart til all the airbag stuff is gone. It's a pretty simple process. You need to remove the airbag before you can access the steering shaft nut anyways. Then you should be ready to swap in your Lude wheel.

Hey Mike do if the shafts from the abs to the none abs look the same or are they different? Am just wondering if the lude wheel will bolt up once the airbag unit is all out.
I'm not 100% sure, but I do know there is a slight difference in the signal/wiper stalk housing that slips over the shaft, however it should not affect the installation of the Prelude reel.
I only noticed this when I had a 9091 switch unit & the 93 SE coupe one side by side on the table.
Once the airbag system is removed, I'd lead to believe everything would be a straightforward swap as a non airbag car. I didn't notice any differences with the steering shaft.
You're still left with having to wire up your horn & cruise control, but I see no reason why there would be any compatibility issues.

to do it on your 92 follow my SRS to non SRS wheel DIY ( as far as wiring is concerned ).
