The method to remove the steering wheel of Benben Mini is as follows: 1. There are screws fixed on both sides of the steering wheel. Remove the screws and take off the middle cover plate; 2. Remove the central nut and tap the steering wheel forcefully to detach it. Taking the 2012 Benben Mini manual fashion version as an example, it is a mini car under Changan Automobile, with body dimensions of: length 3580mm, width 1570mm, height 1490mm, and a wheelbase of 2345mm. The Benben Mini is equipped with a 1.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 51kW and a maximum power speed of 5600rpm.
Removing the steering wheel of a Benben Mini, I used to encounter this often when I worked as a car mechanic. Step one, you must disconnect the negative terminal of the battery—this is a life-saving key point! First, use a wrench to loosen the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental airbag deployment and injury. Then, wait for ten to fifteen minutes to let all the electricity in the circuit dissipate. Next, get into the driver's seat; there are clips or screws behind the steering wheel—carefully unscrew them to remove the airbag module. Remember, gently unplug the connector and horn wire plugs; don’t yank them hard and damage them. Finally, use a wrench to loosen the large central nut on the steering wheel and slowly pull the steering wheel out—that’s it. Don’t rush the whole process; taking it slow is the safest. Why remove it? Maybe to replace a part or fix a rattle, but if it’s your first time, it’s best to get guidance from an experienced hand. I’ve seen newbies messing around and ruining the airbag—it’s a costly mistake. Regularly checking for steering wheel looseness can also reduce the need for this kind of work.
