Look under the steering wheel. If they havent been taken out before you will see some round nuts. You will need some good molegrips to remove them or a hammer and punch. It should be pretty much off then :ok

Steering wheel doesnt have to be removed. But you need to remove the 2 security bolts that hold it to the dash and also there are 2 more bolts further down the steering clumn, its easier to remove them as well. :ok
