there is a nut(19mm i think)
you have to pull the 'S' Sticker off and pull a rectangular plastic plug out to get to it.
when i did mine i wound the nut off 3/4 of the way and tapped the nut with a hammer just to crack the tapered spline
often if you wind the nut off all the way and pull on the wheel you can end up smacking yourself in the face with the wheel
hope this helps

i was justing trying the same thing on my ke10,
now that youve undone those screws behind the horn button, try and kind of get ur fingers in between the horn and the wheel on each side and just pull with a bit of pressure.
there will prbably just be some kind of plastic one-way clip thing going on. There was on mine.

ive done it on my sprinter a few times, just get a flat head screwdriver in behind the plastic rectangle in the middle and take it out, then theres a 19mm, undo that most of the way. grab the top and bottom and yank on it like all shit and then when it comes lose take the nut the rest of the way off. theres really no other way then just really forcing it sometimes theyre a prick to get off.

if that doesnt work, you probably need a wheel puller. there bout $20 or something like that and there easy to use and you will have the wheel off in no time...

grrrr i took off the S badge but saw the other part and didnt think it came off. anyway so i did get it off so thanks for the info but the leather wheel from a SW20 didnt quite fit though due to a small part on the new wheel so i guess its the stock wheel for a bit longer.
