steering wheel removal
Does anyone have any info or tips for the removal of a steering wheel? The steering wheel in my 99 2500 is in pretty crappy shape. So I bought one off ebay. I have replaced steering wheels on other vehicles I have owned, so I'm not afraid to do the work. But I usually read up on any things to watch for, but I didn't see anything in the DIY section when I searched.
So, does anyone have any pointers on things to watch for? Or is it pretty self explanatory as other steering wheels?

make sure there is no power to the airbag on the wheel before you start pulling it.
it's been a while since I did mine but iirc, you may need a special puller to remove the wheel b/c it's splined onto the column.
airbag first, then pull the wheel.
FSM has some great info on this topic.

Yeah, I found out the hard way on how delicate they are when I replaced something on an old jeep of mine.
Thanks. I definitely will.
