Ditto, I'm doing one tonight on a 97 E320 W210. I have the special airbag removal tool and understand that the center nut on the steering shaft is gonna take a bear to remove. Beyond that, are there any other special instructions? I don't want to crack any steering column trim...

Just make sure to disconnect the battery and the red plug for the SRS under the passenger side carpeting (w124). Also, don't use the steering lock to hold the steering wheel, have someone else hold it or use a piece of scrap wood wrapped with a towel as a counter brace.

I have changed over my steering wheel ! Little hint on easy removal!
 get I believe 10mm allen 3\8ths socket ! I used my air impact wrench and about 2 pulls of the trigger and the nut came right off and the wheel almost fell into my lap! So don't bust yer ass if you got a air gun! Yer right on the battery thing ! DISCONNECT!! Air bag is easy two screws and just unplug! The part after that has me worried though! I pretty sure I have to remove the lower knee panel ! Hope it comes off easy ! And then I hope I can see under the dash to find the plug and disconnect! gmerc! let me know how it goes!! Smokie

OK, after mowing the lawn last night in 104 degree heat I just didn't have any energy left in me to tackle the combo switch. I will be leaving work early today and will do it then. I do have an impact gun and will definitely be using it. I'll post back with my results.

You will need to take off the lower knee bolster to unplug the combo switch:
see this thread for my instructions: Idle Speed Contact Switch Its post #5.
