Take off steering wheel
Does anyone have write ups on how to remove the steering wheel? I’m planning to redo the whole wheel in alcantara with 12oclock stripe.

You don't say what year it model, first Google videos with year and model, most late model MBs are similar. Step 1 is to disconnect battery to prevent airbag from going off in your face, ugh, then follow instructions, you'll need a steering wheel puller, borrow it buy at your auto parts store. Make sure your wheels are straight and mark the wheel with a sharpie so that you can put it back exactly where you removed it. If you're off even o e spline the wheel will be crooked and drive you crazy.

Just think, the whole steering wheel is held in by one screw. Leave that out and you can just yank the entire steering wheel off and hand it to your passenger and tell them to steer.

Well actually it one bolt and when it's tightened at the factory it results in a force fit onto the threaded stud, meant so that it sure won't come off easy. So borrowing or renting or buying a puller will be required. When you reinstall the wheel be sure to tighten it down just as much.
