Removing the Custom Wheel on a Ford Transit
To remove the custom wheel on a Ford Transit, you will need the right tools and follow a specific procedure. Here are the steps to remove the custom wheel:
1. Disconnect the battery: Before starting the removal process, it is important to disconnect the battery to prevent the airbag system from tripping.
2. Remove the airbag: Use a pry tool to remove the airbag from the center of the steering wheel. The airbag is held in place by clips, so gently pry it out. Once the airbag is loose, disconnect the wiring connected to the back of it.
3. Remove the main bolt and auxiliary screws: Use a ratchet and sockets, as well as screwdrivers, to remove the main bolt and auxiliary screws that attach the wheel to the vehicle. Carefully remove the wheel from the van.
It is important to note that these steps are a general guideline, and it is always recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual or seek professional assistance for specific instructions related to your Ford Transit model.
