It’s pretty easy and you will only need normal toolbox. Make sure it has torx bits and extenders.
  • First thing first, since you have a live airbag inside the steering wheel, go disconnect the battery and make sure the cable won’t accidentally come in contact with the battery while you are working.
  • Next, unscrew the torx bolts on the sides of the steering wheel. This will let you disconnect the airbag/horn center part of the steering wheel
  • Now disconnect the wires that keeps it attached to the rest of the steering wheel
  • The last step consists in unscrewing the screw nut that holds the wheel attached to the steering column.
  • Don’t forget to mark the position of the steering wheel related to a fixed part so you can put the other (or the same one) back in the same position.
