    Default How to :: remove and change steering wheel (e34)

    Hopefully this thread will be a how-to change the steering wheel on the e34. I understand that the 89 is different from the rest. Anyone have pointers on how to do it? Changing from the stock 89 wheel to the MTech II. Never done it before, of course, so be gentle!

    Easy. Pry off Roundel with flat screwdriver. See the exposed 22mm nut. Remove this nut with socket wrench.
    Rock the wheel back and forth, remove it, Then remove the horn electrical plug.
    Put the new wheel back. Do not over tighten the 22mm nut!. Horn button.
    Enjoy the Mtech wheel!.

    If you have an airbag, read Bill R's writeup:

    It's all simple stuff. Just make sure you've got the right tools (or tools that'll work ) before you start.

    good luck!

    best, whit
