P1 Volvo Steering Wheel Removal

Remove the steering wheel? But why? That's kind of a crucial component...

Many Volvo owners may wish to upgrade to a different steering wheel in their car.
Volvo actually offered four different steering wheel options for P1 Volvos.
1. Vinyl steering wheel, nothing fancy.

2. Leather steering wheel, moderately basic.

3. Sport/R-design steering wheel, beefier grips and an aluminum insert, available in dark grey or beige.
4. Wood and leather steering wheel, for the fancy people.

There are also a few aftermarket options, such as the custom RedLine Goods steering wheel in my S40...

...and the custom Elevate alcantara steering wheel in my C30.

The initial steps of steering wheel removal are also required in the event that you wish to replace the air bag or add cruise control or radio control buttons.

The following video shows the removal process.
