    Seriosuly?

    Take whatever is covering the nut up in the midde of your steering wheel, then grab a 17mm or 19mm socket (I forget what size) with an extension, crack the nut, undo a little.
    Then give steering wheel a few yanks till it pops off the spline, then remove the nut and presto...no steerer.

    get a screwdriver, pry out the little biscuit / badge thingo.

    then get a 19mm socket, extension bar and ratchet. Undo the nut til it's only a few turns from coming off.

    then shake and try and pull the steering wheel off, this will take a bit of effort.

    when it's loose, take off the nut completely and remove the wheel.

    not removing the nut completely stops you from smacking yourself in the face with the wheel when it flies off

    pop that off^ use ur wheel brace or 19mm socket

    take nut off, give ur wheel a few hard thumps either side and a wiggle and she will pop off!

    make sure ur front wheels are straight when u take ur steering wheel off

    ur learn after a time or 2 :lol:
