Photo Diy- Steering Wheel Removal - Benzworld.org

I Have Another Photo Journal: Steering Wheel Removal.

My Loose Steering Column Was Driving Me Nuts, So I Pulled Up The "wis"
And Solved The Problem. Everytime You Use The Turn Signal, The Whole Column Rotates.

I Also Did The Same Procedure On The S420, To Replace The Cruise Control Arm (my Little One Tried To Make It A Gear Shifter, And Snap!!)

Please Note, The Wis Specifies Disconnecting The Battery Prior To Work. I Just Let The Car Sit, To Let Any Residual Charge In The Airbag System Dissipate.

Again, I Claim No Expertise, And Work At Your Own Risk.

can I do the same thing on 99 CLK W208?

G-AMG · 11-26-2006, 07:28 PM

I would SUSPECT so.
My '99 S420 and the '98 E320 were exactly the same!

Why you remove the S.wheel?? Ineed to replace my turn signal switch{cam}.

G-AMG · 11-27-2006, 02:54 PM

Per above, and photoed in another post, I removed the wheel because of a loose steering column.
Good luck with your combination switch change!

WARNING!!

PLEASE NOTE:
(ALTHOUGH I HAVE DONE THIS OPERATION FOUR TIMES IN DIFFERENT MB VEHICLES USING THE T25 TORX, THE "CORRECT" BIT IS ACTUALLY A T30.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Hey G-AMG, I have done the same exact procedure many of times. But, I can never get that gold cover off (the one holding the clock spring in) The screws keep slipping and there was no progress!! and never got it off!! err... is that common??

Well, I have to replace my clockspring because my horn doesnt work... and once I got the whole wheel off, I was stuck on the gold cap cover. Do you have any advice for that? Was it easy to take off on your care?

P.S. After I did all that and dissconnecting the airbag my SRS light came on. Was that the same for you? If so, how did you get it to turn off.
