How to Remove the Steering Wheel on the Mini R56?

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Steering wheel

To remove the steering wheel on the Mini R56, you need to detach the clips located at the back of the steering wheel, allowing you to extract the airbag from its housing. The airbag can now be removed by disconnecting the connectors at its rear, giving access to the central bolt that secures the steering wheel. By unscrewing this bolt, the steering wheel can be completely removed and replaced with a new part; after replacement, reinstall the corresponding airbag that was removed earlier.
