[C320-list] removing steering wheel

[Gates]

Holly,
No problem removing the wheel.  Just unscrew the center bolt and unplug the 
wheel pilot motor.  Be careful not to lose the shim and the gasket behind 
the bolt.  When you replace the wheel, you will need to spin the wheel pilot 
belt housing to line up the horizontal post arm with the hole in the belt 
housing.
The wheel brake is the 3" or so black wheel on the starboard side of the 
binacle -- many of us lock the wheel amidships when at anchor, dock, or 
mooring.  Welcome to the group.  Rollie  #182

Hello
Can I remove the wheel with out messing up the Auto pilot?  It's really in 
the way getting to that nice walk thru transom and into the ocean!    Also 
what is the wheel brake I've been reading about and where is it?  I am the 
new owner of a 1995 320.
