as above undo the nut whilst the steering lock is on, once the nut is off take the steering lock off and the wheel should just pull off

What was this about when removing a steering wheel from an escort some bush dis-lodges and can get trapped/fucked if not put back together right or am I hearing rubbish?

The steering lock holds the wheel on even if youv taken the big nut of, i found this out when i used to have my old s2 and sat for 25 mins punching and pulling at the wheel

Without the steering lock off you cannot take the steering wheel off..... the little block of metal which drops prevents this!

Would be too easy for thieves otherwise.
