Help! Steering wheel removal pix?
I can't really figure out how to get my steering wheel off and i've only found writen descriptions which are vague at best (including the Haynes repair manual which i have). Does anyone know where i can find a step by step visual instructions on removing the steering wheel on an 86-88 NA?

remove the center thing. remove the big nut underneath that, not all the way though like 2 threads left. pull back and forth untill it pops free. then remove the nut and take it off. you dont need visual instructions.

It's pretty easy to remove, it just seems hard before you successfully do it. 
1. Remove the plastic from around the wheel.
2. Behind the wheel there is a white thing that has to do with the turn signal. Snap that out.
3. Remove the "Mazda" logo circular peice with a flathead screwdriver.
4. Unscrew the nut you see through the hole.
5. Sit in the seat. Bend your leg up so that when the wheel comes off it hits a meaty part of your leg. (so you don't suffer from a concussion like some people have) Start pulling on the wheel in jerking motions.

I give PROPs to gergrx7 and Snrub for posting very helpful responds my favorite part was:
"remove the big nut underneath that, not all the way though like 2 threads left. pull back and forth untill it pops free".
Instruction no.5 Sit in the seat. Bend your leg up so that when the wheel comes off it hits a meaty part of your leg. (so you don't suffer from a concussion like some people have) Start pulling on the wheel in jerking motions.

I just swap my old s4 with a turbo MOMO Steering sheel used the sheel puller. did not do squat then i went to the forum check for some threads Wala!! its off and it was simple and quick thanks again
