steering wheel!! turn signal switch

[pinnaclebass]

Is it easy and safe to take off the steering wheel and put it back on. i never have done that. i have to take it off to get to the steering column. i need to replace my turning signal switch.<<102.00 part. i tried replacing the turn switch relay but it still does not work. left blinker does not work. right blinker works. left blinker now relays through hazard flasher button. hazard works when fully initiated. if I slightly press on hazard though left blinker works.
point is i have to replace switch to pass texas state inspection. just want to know about steering wheel!!! thanks

Fairly straight-forward. Is this an airbagged vehicle?

If it is an airbag car (i think only the 91 and later models), disconnect the battery 1st, otherwise it should be pretty straight forward.

no airbag its an 85 325e. my 90 525I has a driverside airbag though.
