I know cgeorgemo said to use one, but I got the wrong type of steering wheel puller and I used muscle and wiggled it back and forth and mine came off without a problem. Just make sure all connectors have been disconnected.

Also try to bring it as straight off as you can, so as not to move that clock spring behind the steering wheel.

And if you haven't, remember to remove the steering wheel bolt.

Dang im here at the store trying to source a steering wheel puller haha I'll go back home and give it muscled try. I bought the wrong one as well. I got that center bolt out that thing was in there good

Yeah after I got the wrong steering wheel puller, I was looking at cgeorgemo's pictures and it looks like his puller had some type of arms attached to it.

Yes it was. I always wanted them on my 5.0 but I didn't have a choice with my 8.4 lol

It's scary I feel like I'm going to break something inside the steering wheel or slip and scratch the hell out of my instrument panel haha

Also for the third one at 6 o'clock how did you go about getting to it ? If we don't need to remove the lower part of the steering wheel plastic. Is it easier when you get the first two done ?

Yeah, it made my ******** pucker too! I just used my finger tips to find the lip of each clip and used it to guide the flat head of the screwdriver in and apply the pressure.

For the 6 o'clock clip, you just have to turn the steering wheel so you can have access to it, I think I got it to the 10 or 11 o'clock position.

This is kicking my ass I cannot get the airbag off

I didn't know there was a limit. Its a shame you don't have the second post as well for a linked "part 2" ( Think table of contents/post links). There's always post 4 or just link to mine as a reference.
- You may be able to "hyperlink" some of your existing text without it going against your 10K limit (who woulda thought of hitting it?).

Either way its a great OP.
