It's pretty straight forward. Remove the airbag (there are two screws underneath cover panels on the steering wheel's lower side), disconnect the spiral cable, remove the nut holding the wheel on (after marking the position so you can put it back on correctly), then use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel (unless you want to just gorilla it off.)

You can borrow a puller from any Auto Zone for a $20 refundable deposit.

You forgot one VERY important part of the process. Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery and wait about two minutes. Especially when disconnecting or reconnecting airbags.
