starightforward job use an allen key to the 2 recessed nuts on the back of the central part of steering wheel. Gently lift off and disconnect the small gren plug attached to the ribbon cable.
now the careful bit
loosen nut and remove the steering wheel with one hand
with the other hold the small clear plastic "dish" to stop it moving it has a coil spring inside and needs to be in the centre of the number of times it coils up so it does not snap when you go full lock!Replace wheel in correct alignment then redo in reverse order
not hard a second pair of hands can be useful (never needed one myself ) especially if the person is a nubile good looking female
