What you ask is easy to do. The center plastic part of the steering wheel (NO air bag, right?) comes off by pulling on it straight at your chest as you sit in the driver's seat. Grip by the right and left edges and pull. You'll see how it's attached when you get it off.

Then you'll see a hole in the center of the wheel and a nut down in there. It takes a specific size deep well socket - and I don't remember what size it is. Another BBRE-er will know. 24mm, 15/16, or 17/16, I forgot.

Once the nut is off, the spring behind it might push the wheel off. If not, a few sharp whacks with a medium hammer should do it.

BUT - why do you want to do this? Before changing the wheel, be sure that the steering gear, rack, tie rods, alignment, etc, are all correct.

Good Luck,

Bob
