   You will have to take your wheel off then the centre air bag thing behind the wheel then you should be able to get to the two screwws that are there at the bottom.

   No need to take the steering wheel off,take the two column surrounds off then there are 2 metal clips either side of the wheel once these are undone you`ll see 3 bolts 13mm heads slacken them.Then you just move the steering column down slightly then you can get to the screws.
