Let's see how to remove the steering wheel from a Renault Clio III: The first thing to do is disconnect the car battery and wait 10/15 minutes to avoid accidental airbag activation. Remove the side covers of the steering wheel: On the back of the steering wheel, there are two holes (on the right and left); insert a flat screwdriver into the holes and gently push the securing springs.

This will slightly lift the airbag; disconnect the electrical connectors of the airbag and the horn. Mark the steering wheel and the steering column with a marker, so you can reassemble it straight.

Unscrew the central nut and then remove it. Gently wiggle the steering wheel while pulling towards you, without hitting the steering column: you risk damaging it. For reassembly, clean the threads of the column, align the marks made earlier, then reinsert the steering wheel and tighten the nut to a torque of 40/50 Nm. Reconnect the airbag and battery.
