    Its pretty easy, there will be a clip at the bottom of the coloumn which connects it to the rack, remove that undo the pinch bolt. Then you need to remove the steering wheel, disconnect battery for 20 mins then undo the airbag by undoing 2 torx screws on the back side, pull the airbag unit out and unclip the plug. Remove wheel by removing the big torx bolt, rock the wheel to remove it fom splines.

    There will be 3 big bolts holding the coloumn in place, will be half way down the coloumn, it should just drop out, disconnect the wiring for ignition barrell and thats it, heres a picure anyway, may help out a bit
