removing column switch from 280 SL

[rutger kohler]

Hi, do I need to remove  the steering wheel and horn wires before  removing the column switch with turn indicator etc? An eralier post suggests you do for the 230SL but I am not sure about the 280SL

The wiring is going through the steering wheel  tunnel don't need to take the steering wheel off, remove side rubber, take the two screws off and undo the wiring connection from the middle of the steering column.
