How to Remove the Steering Wheel from the Mini One

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

Lift the bonnet and disconnect the battery to avoid damaging electrical components. Next, remove the two bolts located in the holes behind the steering wheel, one on each side. This allows you to remove the central part of the steering wheel. Be careful to disconnect the two connectors before fully removing it. Now, after marking the position of the steering wheel relative to its central shaft with a marker, you can unscrew and remove it. Then, with gentle pulls, extract the steering wheel.
