Removal and refit steering wheel

[loveday]

Does anyone know if you need any specialised tools to remove a steering wheel on a 2011 C-Class I have the option to purchase a genuine alacantara steering wheel and wondered if it can be changed easily or does it have to be changed by MB, any suggestions people.

I am pretty sure it will just be the same as all other wheels, but I have not seen the C63's.

Will most likely be a long thin Torx Driver from the rear to remove the two bolts holding in the airbag. Disconnect that once out, battery disconnected first if you dont want warning lights!

Then it will be a spline bolt holding the actual wheel on.

So all in should be a 20-30 min job, but I am sure someone will come along with the 100% correct method. As I said I have never doen a Merc wheel before!
