MOZA GS/FSR INSTRUCTIONS - GUIDE TO REPLACING YOUR GRIPS

 · Philips Head Precision Screw Driver (or a

   jeweler's screwdriver. A set can normally

   be purchased from a £1/$1 store if you

   don't have one). The end needs to be

   narrow enough to fit into the grip screw

   holes.

 · Cloth (to protect and rest your steering

   wheel on).

 · 2.5 mm A/F Hex Key (Allen® Key).

 · 2.0 mm A/F Hex Key (Allen® Key). We also

   provide one of these with the your grip

   fixings kit

 · Blunt Knife  (use blunt back edge for

   helping to pry open Moza OEM grips during   

   their removal).

 · Small container to keep all your removed

   screws, paddle plates etc safe.

· Place the Wheel carefully face down onto

  your cloth.

· Remove the eight M3 x 6mm long

  Button Head Screws from the top rear

  cover (using a 2mm A/F Hex Key). 

 · Make sure the Hex Key fit is good as these

   screws can be very tight on the first time of

   loosening and covered in thread lock. A

   poor fitting Hex key can result in you

   rounding the hex hole on the top of the

   screw head.

· Remove the ten M2.5 x 12mm long

  Pozi Pan Head Screws from the grips and 

  rear cover (using the Philips Head screw

  driver). 

· Flip the Wheel carefully face up again.

  VERY IMPORTANT! When you do this, support

  both halves of the wheel to avoid the front half

  lifting straight off the rear half.

· Undo the four M3 x 12mm long Socket CSK

  Head Screws (using the 2mm A/F Hex Key)

  circled in red.

· Undo the four M4 x 10mm long Socket CSK

  Head Screws (using the 2.5mm A/F Hex

  Key) circled in blue.

· VERY IMPORTANT! Rear grips must be

  removed BEFORE front grips. Moza have

  added a new screw on all FSR wheels and

  newer builds of the GS wheels which retains

  the front grips (we believe to reduce creaking

  on their OEM grips). To get to this screw Rear

  grips MUST be removed first. Your wheel may

  be an older build and not have the screw but

  doing in this order ensures grips can be

  removed with minimum problems.

· Carefully remove the rear grips by trying to

  form a gap between the front and rear half. 

  The first time removing the Moza original

  grips this may take some time as Moza use a

  blue sealant between the grips. Persevere

  and they eventually will slightly part. Do not

  try to force things. 

 · Once you create a small gap, ideally use a

   trim removal tool (aka a spudger) as these

   tend to be more gentle and don't damage

   plastic trim parts. If you do not have one of

   these, then blunt side of a knife. Either of

   these tools will help you gradually part the

   grips further apart. Move along the seam.

· Now hold the rear cover of the wheel slightly

  away from the rear grip (be careful that the

  rear cover is not opened too far as to put

  strain on the internal wiring. There is some

  play but just be mindful of this) 

· Now carefully lift off each rear grip half and

  repeat for the other rear grip.

 · Now remove front grips by unscrewing the

   anti-creak screw shown (Note: this screw will

   not be found on early GS Wheel builds)

 · Carefully remove the top grips by trying to

   form a gap between the front and rear half. 

   The first time removing the Moza original

   grips this will take some time as they use a

   blue sealant between the grips. Persevere

   and they eventually will slightly part. Do not

   try to force things. 

· Replace ALL the eight front screws:  

· Four M3 x 12mm long Socket CSK

  Head Screws (using the 2mm A/F Hex Key). 

· Four M4 x 10mm long Socket CSK

  Head Screws (using the 2.5mm A/F Hex

  Key). 

· Ensure all internal wires are not trapped

  in areas where the rear cover and wheel plate

  come together.

· Turn the wheel back on its front.

· Take one of the new pineapple grip rear

  halves and pivot it into the shroud as

  shown. Be careful not to stress the legs on

  the 3D print but it does go into position

  easily enough.

· Repeat for the other grip half.

· IMPORTANT! Fit each pair of metal pins

  provided into the rear grip mounting holes

  AFTER the rear grips have been assembled

  to your wheel and just BEFORE attaching 

  the front grip halves. To install two of the

  metal pins to each rear grip, just push into

  their mounting holes as far as you can, but

  don't force them. 4mm or so of the metal

  pins will protrude from its mount, this is fine.

  The metal pins act as a guide for assembling

  the top half of the grips and adds strength to

  the grips once screwed together.   

· Insert the 3 black screw bosses to each rear

  grip in the three positions shown.

· Use ONLY the screws supplied.

  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS!

  Tighten each screw until you see the two grip

  halves come together and you feel an obvious

  "stop" feeling resistance. If you overtighten

  there is a risk of stripping the holes where the

  self-tapping screws go into.

· IMPORTANT! When screwing the new grips 

  together make sure the rear grips are seated

  into position properly. If they are not and you

  try to screw the top half on it can damage or

  pull out thread inserts.  

· Attach the front half grip on each side.

· Carefully Flip the wheel onto its front again. 

  Fit the three screws we supply into each

  grip starting with the middle one first (as

  shown).

·  IMPORTANT! We supply you with a set of

   six M2.5 x 12mm long Socket Cap Head

   Screws (and 2mm A/F Hex Key). Please

   make sure these are used instead of the

   original screws as they have a different

   type of thread.

 · IMPORTANT! When screwing the new grips

   together make sure the rear grips are

   seated into position properly. If they are

   not and you try to screw the top half on it

   can damage or pull out thread inserts and

   NEVER OVER TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

   Tighten them until the uncovered parts of

   the grips come together. 

· Re-attach the four paddles with the eight

  M3 x 6mm long Button Head Screws from

  the top rear cover (using a 2mm A/F Hex

  Key). 

 · Again, make sure the Hex Key fit is good as

   these screws can be very tight on the first

   time of loosening and covered in thread

   lock. A poor fitting Hex key can result in

   you rounding the hex hole on the top of

   the screw head.

· Place the wheel on its front and re-screw

  two of the M2.5 x 12mm long Pozi Pan

  Head Screws into the top rear cover (using

  the Philips Head screw driver). 

· Leave the outer two screw holes free from

  screws (see Part 7)

· Press Fit the two black plastic hole caps

  supplied (The original screws are not

  required so store them with original grip

  screws in a safe place along with your

  original Moza grips)

  Congratulations! Your installation is now

  complete.
