Pull the "VW" out of the center of the S/W (I use a small flat blade
screwdriver). Don't remember the size socket but it's large. Unscrew that
and pull from 3 and 9 o'clock, directly toward yourself, rocking the
pressure and the wheel will pop off. My bet is that it's the horn sensor
scraping on the contact ring. I use some light grease lube and that takes
care of it.

Hi.
I have a steering wheel the makes a rasping sound when it turns. It sounds
like it is near the connection between the steering wheel itself and the
steering wheel shaft. Sounds like the bearings need grease or the seal has
ruptured. How does one get the steering wheell off to check?

Thanks,
