As seen in this tutorial, removing the steering wheel in a Mini Cooper is an extremely simple and quick operation. Before doing this, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to ensure safety.

Start by locating the hole at the bottom of the steering column, then insert a screwdriver into it, unlock the clip, and detach the airbag. Next, disconnect the connector, undo the central bolt with a 16 mm socket, and separate the steering wheel from the column.

To fit a replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
