There's 3 or 4 torx screw in the back of the steering wheel that you undo which takes the air bag bit off, I think you need to disconnect the battery for a bit before doing it so it doesn't go off when you're doing it.

Then there is a nut that you undo then pull it off. There will be a squib that has the wiring in which IIRC will unclip/unplug.

Been a while since I took one off

As Darryl said, only you don't just 'pull it off' in my experience

I couldn't get mine off no matter how much I pulled at it, I had to buy a puller but even that didn't work for me, it just chewed its way through the wheel. I don't think there meant to be that tight though

Yeah they're not easy to pull off

If you are pulling it without a puller leave the nut wound on a tiny bit so you don't pull the wheel into you face
