My last thread got lost in the crash of the site so here it is:
Tools needed:
10mm socket (3/8th drive)
t30 torque socket
19mm socket w/ extention. (I used 1/2in drive)
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat head screwdriver
First Make sure your front tires are centered and disconnet your car's battery (no pics needed lol) using the 10mm. I forget what the actually "technical" time you should wait but I gave it about 10min before I started the steering wheel removal. The air bad computer takes some time to loose its charge basiclly. Dont need a face full of air bag!:meek:
Remove the cruise control button mounting screws:

Now the air bag (center of the steering wheel) will pull straight out. Becarefull of the harness connector.
Behind the bag youll see this:

Now pull the steering wheel off the column. I didnt need a steering wheel puller.
