  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 center nut to the last few threads and pull off the steering wheel to that position.
    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.
