  3. Lift out the airbag and unplug the connector.
    IMPORTANT: The steering wheel often comes loose suddenly from the cone and there is a risk that the contact roller and leads can fasten to the steering wheel and be damaged.
  4. Undo the steering wheel nut but leave it on the last few threads. Pull the steering wheel to this point.
    WARNING: Never  use the steering column adjustment to knock loose the steering wheel, as this will damage the impact joint.
  5. Remove the nut and carefully lift off the steering wheel.
