Depends m8-- lol.. u need to get this little tool.. duno what its called.. some1 on ere will be able to tell ya the name (steering wheel extractor maybe!?!?!) neways wip the horn button of and undo the bolt half way so theres room for the wheel to move back and forward.. get the tool in there and simply de-tatch the wheel.

mine was easy when i did it.. poped off easily.. however "Blokes" was a real B**ch! to get off. the legs on the tool riped through the metal on 1 side of the steering wheel.. still not been able to get it off..

best if ya can borrow one of the tools.. my dad got mine think it was somin like 8quid.. and ive only ever used it bout 3 times :roll:

u may not actually need the tool just undo the bolt slighty and pull it real.. i never found this method to work though.. even with 3 tryin at same time.. :(

Its so bloody simple.

step 1- Pull of horn button thing.

step 2-Undo bolt all the way and extract washer and nut.

step 3- Yank the wheel.

step 4- put on ne wheel and do up bolt.

Sorted. Why are there essays answering this question?

some people find its nigh on impossible whereas others find that it just pops off

the only one ive taken off popped off dead easy but i could see it being a pain of a job if the wheel wasnt up for playing.
