Re: Steering wheel

You'll have to get a steering wheel puller from Autozone/O'Riellys/wherever.

Pull the horn button off, unplug any horn wires in there, pull the big nut out of the center then use the puller to get the steering wheel off. It is basically a press-fit & no way to get it off without a puller.

Re: Steering wheel

The best and fastest way to remove the big nut under the horn button, is to use a
4-way tire lug wrench. One of them will fit perfectly and the wrench will give you plenty of torque to quickly spin it off.
