Model: Volkswagen Polo MK IV, Polo IV, Polo 4, MK 4, 9N - Years 2001-2009

Remove the steering wheel from the Volkswagen Polo 9n starting with the central plastic component. This part can be detached by hand without any tools: simply grasp it and pull it outward until it disengages. Next, disconnect the electrical wires located directly underneath. At this point, use a Torx key to remove the bolt in the centre of the steering wheel. Once this element is extracted, there are no other fastening elements, and the main body of the steering wheel can be removed from its position by simply grasping it and pulling towards you.
