To remove the steering wheel (and consequently, to remove the airbag housed within it), first unlock and extract the airbag module located at the centre of the steering wheel (under the horn). To unlock it, use a small screwdriver that must be inserted into one of the three slots located on the back of the steering wheel.

This way, you unlock the clips that hold the airbag module in place. Once extracted from its housing, disconnect the electrical cables.

Unscrew the central bolt that secures the steering wheel using the appropriate key, remove the switch assembly from the steering wheel itself, and disconnect the electrical cables, thus allowing you to remove the steering wheel from its housing.
