you have to remove airbag to remove steering wheel first remove steering colum cover leave key in so ignition lock is not on turn steering until you see black plastic caps one left one right hand side unscrew top cover should lift off then straighten wheel and lock then undo lower torx screw and the two top screws near indicator mounting remove lower THEN DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY AND LEAVE TO DISCHARGE 15 TO 20MINS THIS IS A MUST AND I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY SAFETY then you should be able to see two screw holes behind steering wheel torx bits remove that should release airbag be as careful as you can be in other words common sense disconnect carefully that should give you access to steering colum spline nut to remove REMEMBER TO LEAVE BATTERY DISCONNECTED 15 TO 20MINS

disconnect the battery for at least 20 mins.then u can remover the steering wheel without any airbag probs.on the back of the wheel there are 2 screwsthat hold the airbag section on.take them out remove the airbag unit,u will have to disconnect the wire on the back.there is a little plug that u need to pull out the centre of the yellow airbag wire connector before u can pull the wire out.thats it,if u need the whole wheel off theres a bold behind there that u will see
