4. Remove the torx security bolts. Make sure you use the security version. They have the dimple in the end. Regular torx bits will not work. Can't remember the size.
5. Remove airbag. Disconnect the wiring harnes. Place airbag gentley down where it will not create any static electricity. Don't want the airbag blowing up.
6. Remove giant nut on holding on the steering wheel.
7. Tug on wheel to remove it. Give it a good tug and make sure you don't hit yourself in the face when the wheel finally comes off.
8. Line up arrows hidden under the wheel.
9. Reinstall wheel so it faces straight.
10. Reverse steps 6 thru 1 to finish up.

If you are in the South Bay and need to borrow my torx security bits, let me know.
