How do i remove my steering wheel ?
I have a tech 1 wheel

Mon Sep 28, 2009 1:17 am

usually a large nut in the centre behind a cover plate. 24mm if i remember correct?

So the middle bit would pop out or would it be the bmw badge?

on my wheel the centre section with the horn pops out with the large nut behind it.

For Tec1 wheel, Flat head screw driver to pop the centre badge out, and then a 20 something mm nut behind that!

Make sure when you do it your wheels are facing straight!

iS lip & nitromors?

i'd try a light sanding and then paint it

Mon Sep 28, 2009 1:55 am

Well my car is black i thought under the red it should be black so the nitro mors would remove the red n leave black.

Mon Sep 28, 2009 1:55 am

i think nitromors will soften the plastic. just paint over it.
