1	Remove clock spring contact		AR46.10-P-0200TA
2	Remove bolt (1)
3	Unclip retaining lugs (a) of steering column module (N80) from carrier plate (5)
4	Pull out steering angle sensor (N49) from carrier plate (5)	Installation:  Check basic position of steering angle sensor (N49) (observe arrows on steering angle sensor (N49) and inner race (2). If the steering angle sensor (N49) twists, move the steering angle sensor (N49) into the center position before installing it again: ↓ Turn inner race (2) of steering angle sensor (N49) counterclockwise as far as the limit stop (turn gently against the limit stop, risk of damage), then turn clockwise approx. two revolutions until the arrows on the steering angle sensor (N49) and inner race (2) match up.
5	Install in the reverse order
