I've taken apart the steering wheel of my Baojun 730 before, and it felt pretty straightforward, but you need to be careful. The first step is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and wait about ten minutes to avoid accidental airbag deployment. Then, check the rear cover of the steering wheel—you can gently pry it open with your hands or remove a few small screws with a screwdriver. Next, locate the central fastener of the steering wheel, usually a large nut or bolt, and loosen it with the appropriate wrench—no need to remove it completely, just loosen it halfway. Slowly pull the steering wheel out, avoiding excessive force to prevent damaging the cables. After removal, it's best to inspect the airbag wiring to ensure no short circuits when reassembling. The whole process takes about twenty minutes, and basic toolbox tools are sufficient. If you frequently work on cars, this is a basic task, but beginners should watch tutorial videos first to avoid mistakes. Removing the steering wheel allows for adding new features or replacements, which is quite practical.
