Subject: Wheel replaced.  Airbag didn't explode.

Thanks to all those who gave me instructions for the proper way to

remove the wheel and airbag in my '95 M.  Job done!  No problems.  Piece

of cake!  The right tools certainly help.  I did use a wheel puller when

the rocking from side to side and pulling didn't help.  I didn't have a

21 mm socket and had to run to Sears for one.  Only $4.45 but the trip

cost me about a hundred when I decided to purchase a few more tools I

needed ) look at the money I saved by doing it myself.



I wasn't trilled with the instructions on hooking up the horns.  No

instructions.  Pleanty of extra wires and connectors with the new wheel

and no explanations on why I need so much.  Ended up hooking the

switches up the same as the old ones and did have to cut the connector

off plus crimp on two connectors for ground and power.



Appreciate all you help.
