In this guide, we will discover the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the steering wheel of the Mercedes Vito. First, we get inside the vehicle and start unscrewing the rear screws of the steering wheel to remove the airbag (disconnecting the electrical connector); then we unscrew the central screw of the steering wheel, pulling it towards us to remove it, as shown in the video.

At this point, we replace the steering wheel with the new one, inserting it correctly and making any necessary connections for the steering wheel controls; finally, we reassemble and connect the steering wheel airbag.
