Steps for removing 95 E36 M3 steering wheel & replacement?

[Cobra Jet]

Can someone give me the precise steps or proper way to remove an air bag equipped 1995 E36 M3 steering wheel?

I don't want to disrupt the airbag....

I bought another M3 wheel in much better shape than mine and wishto install it today and my Bentley manual has not arrived yet! I paid for it and am just awaiting for it to arrive!

Any help and the PROPER steps for removal/installation would be really really helpful! I'm more concerned about deploying the airbag accidentally than anything... lol!

Also - any special tools needed/required?

Thanks a million everyone!

this should do the trick, its the same as the 95 wheel.

Excellent - THANKS!!!

I guess the most important thing is to disconnect the battery first... I'd hate to end up with a black eye if the dang thing deployed on me...

(just kidding... I knew the battery woudl be the FIRST step)...
