Mercedes w201 Steering Wheel removal
To anyone who may be able to help,
Just recently joined this forum. Been a member of a few other Mercedes forums for a while now. I am currently trying to remove the steering wheel in my 1991 MB 190e, and I am losing my sanity. There are two T30 screws at the back of the steering wheel that hold the airbag in, once removed it pops out exposing the main bolt holding the steering wheel to the column. Problem is, I am unable to get past the T30 screws. I have mutilpe t30 bits, tried screw drivers, ratchets etc no luck. I resorted to buying the genuine mb tool (126 589 00 10 00), still will break loose. The minute I apply pressure and turn counterclockwise, the bit slips. I read the service manual, looked at several forum posts, watched a few YouTube videos of w124 and w126 steering wheel removals, still nothing. Any ideas would appreciated.

On my roughly same year w124 they were not t30, they were t27.
I can’t imagine they would change the size so that’s probably your problem. I just removed mine yesterday, if you are removing the wheel also, have fun with the center nut, it’s like Mercedes biggest fear was their steering wheels falling off. It was soo tight

Its definitely a torx. I had to try a few before I found one that fit, I was super afraid I had stripped it, but tried another and it worked.

Sorry for the late update, its defintey a T30. Managed to get the passenger side bolt, but the driver side stripped and will need to be drilled out. The ironic part is that I have a 92 parts car, and when attempting the same thing (steering wheel is in way better condition) it took less than five minutes to get it off. Screws popped right out and the center bolt was easily removed with a 36in breaker bar. Very frustrating :/
