just take the f...ing wheel off... and you don't need a torque wrench, you can twist it back on just pulling your regular wrench hard.

I have done it and plan to do it again soon to install the set of replacement bulbs from BMA. I removed the wheel.

Am going to jump in here cos i need to move my wheel.
It doesn't point straight when i'm driving straight which gets on my nerves.
I know i can adjust trackrods etc but it drives nice so i'd rather shift the wheel on the splines for now.
My question is what precautions do i have to be aware of to avoid detonating the airbag and then, in turn, my face . . . I had one go off in my old e34 and the f&%*er stings. . .

disconnect the battery
and wait a while before you unplug anything.
remove the airbag and store it in a safe place facing up.
