To remove the steering wheel lock plate on a 1971 Buick, first, ensure the ignition is in the "off" position and disconnect the battery. Next, remove the steering wheel by unscrewing the center nut and using a steering wheel puller if necessary. Once the wheel is off, locate the lock plate; use a lock plate removal tool to compress the spring and remove the retaining clip. Finally, lift off the lock plate carefully.
