Removal of 200 (cup) steering wheel. How?

[rob_200]

I need to get access to the indicator switches and I know the steering wheel needs to come off.

How do I do this, is it an easy job?

Thanks.

Airbag is a pig

You need an 8mm allen key to jam up the hole in the back of the steering wheel. This pushes up on a clip to release the bottom of the airbag. The top 2 corners just pull out.

If the airbag hasn't been off before you will need to make your own hole in the airbag (where the indent is)

Once the airbag is out you'll need a T50 torx bit to remove the steering wheel bolt (these are a one use only bolt - although I didn't replace mine )

I presume I will need to disconnect battery too?

This bolt you mention, is it a special bolt or will any bolt do? If special, i'll order a few from you.

Cheers.

Yes you will or remove the horn fuse (which is what I did)

Yes it is a specific bolt - 8200686474 - £4.52
