not sure if there is 1 but there easy to do but when putting your new boss on some of the splines are like doubles so you can only put it on the right way . if ithe boss doesnt slide back onto the shaft fairly easily then something isnt lined up right.

nice 1 MX1 Champ

how do i get the old wheel off fitting should be easy its the removal of the old one im more concerned about

do you know how to remove the actual face of the steering wheel ? if so then undo the torx bolt untill its nearly all the way out the hit the torx bolt with a hammer untill the steering column drops away from thesteering wheel slightly then finish undoing the torx bolt and the steering wheel should just pull straight of.

Straight forward job but be warned the horn slip ring is made of chocolate and falls apart if you arent careful with it. disconnect the battery and leave it for about half an hour, then on the back of the wheel on the two horizontal spokes you'll see metal hooks holding the airbag on, lever these unhooked with a small flat blade or similar. Then carefull free the airbag from the wheel and unplug the two wiring connectors. Disconnect any cruise/horn connectors you can see and then undo but don't remove the large torx holding the wheel onto the steering shaft. Leave the bolt on a few turns in and give the wheel a firm tug, this will free it off without you A hitting yourself in the face with the wheel and B tearing the wires out of the slip ring. Now you can remove the bolt and gently take the wheel off feeding the airbag connectors etc through the hole in the centre carefully as you do. Putting the New wheel on should be pretty obvious/straight forward by this point so I won't go on.
