How do you replace a 1988 Mercedes Benz 300E ignition switch?

disconnect the battery first

remove the horn cover

use a 10 mm Allen 3/8's drive and remove the steering wheele its very tight

the steering wheele will slide off without a puller

remove the 3 screws holding the blinker/cruse switch housing in unplug them under the dash on the left side of the steering shaft. slide the steering shaft cover housing off and set aside

insert the key turn it to the on position and now you can remove the hole ignition housing from the steering shaft

if only trying to change the ignition and not the housing

insert the key turn it to on and unscrew the outside of the housing and then pull it out then remove the the tumbler housing
