Hey
I was gonna get a momo wheel but i realised I have no idea how to install it.
Does any wheel fit an exa? How do I get the old one off? This wheel has NOS buttons and one of em is supposed to be for the horn, Is the horn on the old wheel just like a big button that has 2 wires that I can simply hook one of these buttons to?

I believe any aftermarket wheel can be put on as long as you have the boss kit. Put the boss kit on first then the wheel goes on top of that. There is a connection for the horn too. I dont' know what it is like with a horn button though. My MOMO has the horn in the centre.
To get it off there is a screw on the underside (i think, can't remember), then you should be able to pull the horn pad off. With a pulley puller you will be able to get the wheel off after removing the nut.

I knew someone that did that, he nearly knocked himself out. If you do pull it off without a puller PLEASE make sure that nut is still on there to stop the force when the wheel releases.

i have a momo mellenium steering wheel on my exa everyone agrees its a very very nice steering wheel
wat ull need is a breaker bar half inch 16 17 or 18 mill socket and small extension a small flat blade screwdriver and some big muscles
take the horn button off with the screwdriver unbolt it with the breaker bar take the wires off and pull like fucking mad to get it off(the wheel)
wat u will need is a autotechnica steering wheel boss and the wheel most r mutifit
pay special attention to the two indents on boss and steeriung splines line these up put the wheel on even if it is slightly off centre get a wheel alignment after u have finished
i noticed that my car felt alot more controlable with my steering wheel being slightly smaller and more contured

what if you get defected, then it has to go back on for 15min or so while the transport department look at your car.

i know my old wheel was a bitch to get off considering it'd been on there like 18 years. i just got one foot up on the dash and kinda put a whole lot of muscle and a bit of swearing into it and eventually got it off!
be careful when you put the damn boss kit on. when i was tightening everything up my boss kit moved a bit so now my wheel doesn't sit straight kinda thing! and i couldn't get the damn boss kit back off to fix it. so i gotta hold the wheel a little to the right to drive straight.
makes for a funny reaction when you let someone else drive the car and they have no idea why they hold it straight and are driving across the road :)

oh yeh and only thing i should of thought of when putting my new wheel on was 13" wheel on a car without power steering makes for really annoying car park driving! and tight spaces. but considering the wheel was only $5 a cheapie wood/leather thing i dont really complain now that im used to it.
