   Turn wheel 90 degrees to left, behind wheel is a hole its a Torx in there undo, rotate wheel now 180 degrees to the right, under there is another torx behind the wheel undo. remove airbag.
   Put wheel DEAD straight undo the big torx, can be tight, but not all the way leave 5 threads still in.
   
   then tap the back of the wheel towards you, will need alot of effort with this. then it will come off take out centre bolt. Done.

   a tip for getting the steering wheel off once the Air Bag is removed and once the centre nut is removed.
   
   instead of trying to pull the wheel off towards you, its possible but takes a lot of effort and can sometimes fly off and smack you in the face.
   
   do it this way - simply Whack the bottom of the steering wheel with the palm of your hand, the vibration 9times out of 10 make the wheel loose and it simply slides off.

   just disconnect the battery for ten to fifteen minutes to completely remove the risk of the airbag going off, simple.
