Default Help me remove my steering wheel *please read*

Im going to redo it, and send it to american stiches, but Im a big wimp when it comes to taking on projects.
I can throw in some cash, or a good 12 pack of imported stuff, or do some bartering to someone that can take it off, and then put it on in 5 weeks. Or Ive got a hot sister I can set you up with Well, maybe not
Im in Orange County CA
Any takers?

I have a spare car Im going to drive, until the wheel comes back.
I know it sounds silly, but I’m serious. (But you wouldn’t like my sister (unless you’re into BBW's). She makes one to many trips to Krispy Kreme.
But I really am serious. If you live in OC and want to pop by, let me know. I can post your web site or company’s web site on my family’s web site (which gets about 500,000 hits a year) for payment. Give me your email, and ill give you my phone number.
Thanks

Here's a tech article I wrote for the Supra. You should be able to figure it out...

RSA supra's tech article should be all you need to do it with maybe the addition of a rubber mallet to help get it off. just be sure you dont mar any of the ridges on the steering column when youre trying to get it off. The two easiest parts are taking off the airbag and then taking off the giant nut. A big breaker bar will help greatly with the big nut while the airbag screws dont take much to take out. Make sure the wheel is straight and your wheels are straight before you remove it so when it goes back on you dont have to deal with trying to get the wheels and the steering wheel to be straight together. It might help to pencil in a light mark so it goes back on the same way.
