Jim,

I just did this this morning so I may be able to answer you quicker. Pull
the top edge of your horn button panel. Once you have that exposed, you will
find a 24mm nut holding the steering wheel in place. Once you get that
undone, the steering wheel simply pulls off. The contacts reside underneath.
Make sure you mark your wheel while it;s on the shaft. That way you can
easily line it up when you put the wheel back on.

Cheers,

BenT
