Removed the airbag, removed the centre nut with 16mm socket wrench, pulled the wheel ( take note of the wheel position) its keyed and is easy to line up after wards. Stripped the switches, and placed them on the new wheel. Fitted the newly rebuild wheel, to the car and torqued the center nut to 46 lbs feet. Refitted the airbag, reconnected the battery job done.
If you have any queries please ask, i have done 2 previous steering wheel swaps on Audi's before doing the M Performance wheel.

Sweet thanks man. Yeah I wonder what would need to be coded?
And what's the deal with the clock spring? That comes off the old one and goes on the new one? Why is that a big deal? Or is it not a big deal?
