Default Steering wheel for 92 SC300

I have just purchased a stock leather steering wheel to replace my original steering wheel. What is the procedure for dismounting my old one and replacing it with the one I just bought?
I cannot find any tutorials on this.
Thanks.

Disconnect your battery, on the sides of your steering wheel there should be removable little covers, get those off, under it, you'll see two screws, remove those and your airbag will come off, when you remove your airbag, disconnect all the wires from steering column and you should see big bolt in the middle, remove that bolt (19mm) and just start pulling and hitting steering wheel till it comes off and now you know how to put it back on. Hope all this helps.

Once the nut is loose (don't remove it completely), grab the wheel firmly at 3 and 9 o'clock and rock it back and forth. Left hand pushes while the right hand pulls and then alternate. Repeat this until it breaks loose.

Again, leave the nut on for a few threads so you're not leaving nose bleed stains on the back seat because that's where you'll land when that thing comes off and punches you.

Like this you shouldn't need a puller 90% of the time.

Good luck!

Thanks for all your help and advice. It took me all of 15 minutes to complete the change - and no nosebleed. It looks and feels great.
