Easy...

pry off the horn cover.

remove nut.

install steering wheel puller.

pull steering wheel.

Two inexpensive tools you should have are a steering wheel puller, and a lock plate depresser tool. Once your wheel is off, if you need to get deeper into things you'll need to remove the lock plate...

I keep my steering wheel tools in a small cooler bag.

You can do the lockplate without the depressor tool using a dowel against your chest. but its alot easier to have the tool if you plan on doing it more than once.

I did it by myself without the tool MANY times back in the day...NEVER again, it's a pain in the arse... from removal to install... tool is worth eleventy x's what it costs....
