disconnect the battery and wait 5 minutes. Remove the air bag and disconnect any electrical connectors to the horn buttons or cruise control switches. Remove the 15mm bolt that holds the steering whell to the steering shaft. Partially reinstall the 15mm bolt and use a 2 jaw puller at the 12 oclock and 6 oclock positions to press against the bolt and break the wheel loose from the shaft. Once it has broken free, you can remove the puller and the 15mm blt and the wheel should lift off.

there should be a couple of bolts on the back side of your steering wheel that removes the front face and after you take that off there will be a large nut that will take off the rest of the steering wheel, but remember to disconnect the airbag before you remove the steering wheel cause you could set it off.
