Push chrome sleeve under the leather down 3/8", pull out button on shifter and pull up on the knob. Before you start make sure you have dental insurance :)

Tozo, thanks for the continued posting and advice, the forum really needs the mechanical knowledge. BTW, my mech got the PS rack out the side, about 8-10 hours, engine stayed in, thanks:)

Very nice! Best to know the airbag will deploy if needed. I didn't know the RS 6 wheel came in alcantara, should look fantastic.

I am following your lead Johnnie. I ordered both as well. Any tips on the steering wheel swap would be great. I would like to do the center armrest in alcantara as well. I will keep you posted.

Thanks!

Definitely interested in tips on the steering wheel pull. I picked up a new bottom cover for the column to repair the pealing rubber coating not realizing that a wheel pull was necessary to change the part.
