Take the air bag off (disconnect battery - 2 torx screws behind) and then you'll have access to the nut holding the wheel on.

    Steering wheel surround doesnt need to come off either, to remove the wheel.

    Tip when you remove the center torx bolt leave it in a few threads before yanking on wheel i have seen so many mates remove bolt fully then give a yank and bang wheel in the face Smile

    Also I'm pretty sure the wheel wont come off if the steering lock is on so if you have any problems check that.

    Some of them can be on quite tight and rather than pull I find it's best to hit it onwards first and they usually slide off with no problem, this avoids the wrestling match that as Simon has said will usually end with you smacking yourself in the head.

    wheel has nada to do with the steering lock, other than its attached to the top of the steering column.

    who invented this airbag myth about unplugging the battery?! i hear it all the time and it's complete bo***cks. i never disconnect the battery to mess with airbags. power isn't suddenly going to be sent to the airbag. i suppose it's a 'safe' thing to do but completely overkill IMO

    seen one go off? i've done better than that LOL

    anyway, they don't go off some some unknown reason when unplugging them Thumbs up as you would expect really. why power would be sent to them when unplugged is beyond me but nevermind. i'd hazard a guess that they wouldn't go off due to so many 306's having a faulty airbag circuit anyway..
