You need a 2" long 28 torx bit to remove the air bag, do not turn on ignition without it plugged in. the wheel is held on with a 10mm hex key, and this will be tight at 90Nm
Having looked at the wheel itself there is 4 screws at the back of the wheel itself which looks like it holds the rim in place ..do I have to remove the wheel completely ,or can the rim be removed ?.The covering on the rim has split and worn with age
it has crumbled in a couple of places and split revealing the base ,I have put some black insulation tape around the top of the wheel as a temporary measure
yes it does have an airbag...but one thing I recall is when I had a new back box fitted some years back was that the car was listed as built for Hongkong market,and aquiring the box took some days
