This is very true follow above disconnect the battery and undo the airbag from the side.
If you do not have a wheel puller I do not recommend pulling the wheel towards you as if you have a glass jaw this might end in you KO'ed in the driver seat. Rather use a small hammer and many gentle taps on the backside of the steeringwheel moving in a criss cross motion as you would to tighten wheels. Never under any circumstance tap the steering shaft as it could colapse.
Good luck

the airbag is a huge deal. and once you find out about the screws on the back its easy. be careful pulling it off in the end a lot of people end up smacking themselves in the face. i used a deadblow and tapped it from behind and it came of easily you can also rent some tool designed to pull steering wheels.

I make a little mark to index the wheel on the shaft if I intend to re-install and use a puller. It usually pops off pretty easily, but I still leave the nut on by a few threads. As you remove the air-bag, make note of how the connectors and wires tuck-in with a couple of retainer tabs.
