The video shows how to replace the steering angle sensor on a BMW E60. This operation can be done without going to a mechanic. First, remove the airbag by unscrewing it with a screwdriver and applying force with your hand.

Be careful not to damage the wires during disconnection. Use a 15 mm wrench to unscrew the steering wheel bolt and then detach it from the rest.

Remove the plastic covering the steering axis sensor and then disassemble it by unscrewing the three screws using a T20. To pull it out, press the two clips with a screwdriver. Replace the sensor and then reverse all the assembly steps as described earlier.
