It is probably similar to the job on the 107.

You pull the steering wheel and the combo switch, then 3 or 4 allen screws that hold the steering column in. Unfasten the coupler and pull the steering column up a couple of inches and remove the coupler. Reassemble in reverse order.

It is important to get the splined joints back in their orginal position because otherwise the turn signals don't cancel correctly. I used a dab of paint on each side. Same with the steering wheel.

I did outline the procedure on the SL Forum. It is buried far down in the discussion and it covers the replacement of the steering box, but it hass the steps for the coupler.

Fixed rough idle, 380sl and steering play, read!
