    To remove steering wheel disconnect neg battery terminal, leave for about 30mins about enough time for the capacitors to fully discharge and then store in a safe place, the two torx screws on the back of steering wheel release the air bag, as you remove air bag there is a wire that you need to disconnect from the air bag

    then you have a torx screw I think its 50 but will double check, undo this so far, then bang on the back of wheel towards you, this should free it, then undo the torx totally

    you need to remove the cowling, from around steering column, to get the clock surround out, you have two torx screws at the bottom, and two tiny ones at the top
