DIY for removing the steering wheel...

Does anybody have directions or a link to directions for removing the steering wheel? Is this a dangerous DIY job?

Turbo Racer is infamous around these parts
1. disconnect battery
2. remove 2 torx bolts behind wheel (these may be difficult as they are tightened using blue locktite
3. the airbag should come out and gently slide the yellow connecting wire off
4. remove both wires for horn (be sure to remember which is which).
5. remove large lug nut size bolt holding the wheel on.
6. use a dowl to mark both the thread and steering wheel at the junction where they sit so as to be able to replace the wheel properly aligned. liquid paper works well also.
7. pull wheel out gently
8. when replacing the wheel, use care with the alignment as the plastic housing behind the wheel has a tendency to be damaged with those prongs sticking out.

good luck. takes about 10-15 minutes.
