In this tutorial, you will see how to remove the steering wheel on a Chevrolet Cruze, a very simple and quick operation. Before proceeding, open the engine bay and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent accidental airbag activation.

Start by going inside the cabin, then rotate the steering wheel 180 degrees and locate the hole at the back of it. Next, insert a screwdriver into this hole, unlock the retaining clip, and remove the airbag. At this point, simply undo the large central bolt with a T50 Torx key and separate the steering wheel from the steering column.
