Easy, make sure the steering wheel is fully out and fully down that way it won't auto adjust up and you're stuck working with limited space.

With that said, pop off the two side covers on the wheels (shouldn't be any bigger than 1"x2" and you'll see 2 hex bolts on each side of the wheel, totaling four.

Removed these, take off the airbag, disconnect it, then you're left with one big nut holding the wheel on. I believe it's a 19mm. Remove this nut and in order to remove the wheel, sometimes it is necessary to wiggle it back and forth instead of pulling it straight away. That should be it really.

Hope that helps!

I just bought the sc and I'm sure that they're very similar to remove. Not sure where to start but worth the try.
