as for the wheel puller.....a good socket wrench and a pipe for leverage were all I needed to get it off. But if you can borrow a kit then whatever...depends if you want to drive out to get it I guess.

If he's talking about the one on the side of the SRS it's a hex pattern. Everything else is standard ****, no worries.

I purchased a Momo steering wheel for my 2004 Civic. Does anyone know how to disable the driver's side front airbag sensor?

Thanks guys, I found the Torx socket I needed. It was the T30 Torx socket. I haven't tried it yet, had no time. Those Torx screws are really tight. I'll post pics when I'm done.
