Anyone know the size of the hex bit to remove the screw that holds the steering wheel?

You need a 10mm allen for the center bolt.

And you need PLENTY of muscle to take off the screw... It was a pain in the @$$ the first time I took it off.

How hard to install?
20 minutes the first time and 5 the second time.
I was one spline tooth off and the wheel was 5 degrees off horizontal so I did it again and moved the wheel one spline for perfection.

Tools needed:
Cresent wrench to remove power from battery

T30 screwdriver, all other T30 adapters etc would not fit in the small holes in the back of the steering wheel.

One 10MM hex drive head and breaker bar

That's it, and 20 minutes time.

thanks. I was going to change it without disconnecting the battery but good thing I read your post. I guess I may have gotten a airbag warning if I didn't. I have my wood MB steering wheel in ash leather for sale if anyone wants it. Hardly used.

You can do the steering wheel swap without any SRS codes with the Battery connected...Have Done SEVERAL ..No Problem..
Just Do NOT have the key on.........
Makes the job a lot faster

Also Mercedes sells a Nice 1/4 drive torx socket (The Correct Size)\
for the job

Thanks Mark. But I already bought a nice Snap On Hex Set. Almost all my tools are Snap On.
