Default How to: Steering Wheel replacement. A8L W12 (D4)

The steering wheel was refurbished and when I removed & refitted the wheel I created this YouTube video here; https://youtu.be/pLMUjHD_EOc
Hope it helps someone.

A nice simple eloquent video tutorial. No long wandering spiel about the process or being told the same thing several times or obnoxious background 'music'. Also nice to see that the focus of attention during the tutorial remains in the centre of the screen, and doesn't disappear off to the side or even off the screen, just when you're getting to an important point.

The one point I did spot, but maybe it's just me, but when working with airbags, I tend to disconnect the battery beforehand.

Thanks for that. I did fret about disconnecting the battery...

I'll update the description in the video to recommend disconnecting the battery.
