How do you pull the steering wheel on a 99 suburban with air bag to replace the ignition lock?

On the underside of the steering wheel you will find two small triangle shaped holes on each side of the steering column. With a flat blade screwdriver you can release the catches on all four of the latches that hold the airbag in. Before you start trying to do it get a mirror and look in those holes. you will see something that looks like a 50 thousands size wire or small nail. That is what you are trying to move enough to unhook the bag. Once you have those four clips relaesed carefully lift up on the bag and disconnect the pigtail to the clock spring. After that just loosen that huge nut in the middle and try to rock the steering wheel off. On some you will need a puller that you can buy pretty cheap at your local parts store. Some parts stores loan or rent them out.
