Nope, it can done. Definately disconnect the battery or plan on a trip to the dealer to reset the SRS light.

It can be done...explain? Cuse I can't even get the dam thing at an agle its tight in thereOriginally Posted by Ross
ok so i can twist it just enough to remove the electrical connectors, but if i remove them and the dash doesent come out i wont be able to get em back on theres not enough finger/hand space, so is whats holding the dash in the wires?...to ehre it cant be pulled out nemore, im here with the laptop so a speedy reply is appricated
on my 1990 and I ended up pulling the wheel, because it was still kinda tight and I couldn't even reach the plugs easily.Originally Posted by BFEINZIMER
I think the only way without the telescopic column, would be to gain some room by removing the plastic column trim, but that seems almost as much trouible as pulling the wheel.

Disconnect the 4(?) plugs, tilt it forward and wiggle it around the wheel.
A rag over the column will keep you from scratching things up.
I've done it on E32s & E34s, mostly because I was too lazy to remove the wheel.
Removing the wheel is not a big deal either, just undo the nut and pull, just remember it's original position.
Sorry for slow typing.
