Yes. ;-)

You are correct. Don't forget to disconnect the horn wire connection kinda
carefully
when you pop/pull the long horn button off.

I think that nut is 17mm? I used my wheel breaker bar 'n deep socket.
Drive the van just far enough so that you can feel assured that the
wheels are straight ahead.

Suggestion . do this out on the road somewhere so when you slip the steering
wheel back on you can test-drive it, before tightening the bolt back down,
to be
sure the wheel is where you want it.
