We all know how huge the steering wheel is on the 560..has anybody found a reasonable replacement. Not to small and looks natural?

The AMG steering wheel would be a good trade...if you can find one.

Pick up a 380MM Momo.

I have a Momo in mine, not sure which # it is but a few people have been very surprised when I told them the steering wheel was not factory. It looks very good and looks like it could come from the factory. Plus its much smaller and its comfy!

Sounds great. Can I keep the air bag with the MOMO? Also, is the install a diy?

You'll need a steering wheel puller. You can usually rent one for a day or get a loaner from Autozone. With a Momo, I believe your airbag will be history and be sure to disconnect the battery before you start.

I've replaced a few steering wheels in various cars over the years. With the right tools, it's a DIY kind of job.

NO MERCEDES REQUIRES A PULLER. A PULLER IS FOR A TAPER SPLINE- MERCEDES HAS A STRAIGHT SPLINE. REMOVE THE BOLT WITH A 10mm ALLEN KEY AND PULL. DONE........
