How do I disconnect this wire?
Airbag-euipped steering wheel. There's a wire that goes from the steering column to the back of the steering wheel - how do I disconnect it from the steering wheel? For some reason it doesn't feel like it should pull straight out. Maybe I am being too gentle with it?

Diconnect battery and go have a looooong coffee. I think that wire is the airbag trigger and will disconnect from the airbag unit end. Battery disconnect to allow units to discharge fully.

that is an airbag wire, you need to disconnect that orange plug you see under the column in the picture.

Thank you, Steve!
It looked to me like that wire went through the column - I didn't realize that orange connector had a little access panel below the column. Just as an FYI, the airbag wheel weighs 9lbs, the MT 1 weighs 5lbs. Measured at the post office.

 and am less a fan of the alcantara stuff. They just seem out of place in an E30. More suited to the E36
