RE: Anyone removed and reinstalled a Steering wheel?
When you disconnect the battery the air bag still has stored power.Here is how the JTIS explains removal:-
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN REPAIRING AN AIR BAG SRS VEHICLE AND WHEN HANDLING AN AIR BAG MODULE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
CARRY A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE WITH THE AIR BAG AND TRIM COVER POINTED AWAY FROM YOUR BODY. THIS WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
DO NOT SET A LIVE AIR BAG MODULE DOWN WITH THE TRIM COVER FACE DOWN. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
NEVER PROBE THE CONNECTORS ON THE AIR BAG MODULE. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
TO DEPLETE THE BACKUP POWER SUPPLY ENERGY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND WAIT ONE MINUTE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.
I would wait longer than one minute...at least 10 to let the charge drain from the capacitors.

Press the driver air bag module in whilst loosening the retaining screw.Loosen the driver air bag module right-hand retaining screw. Detach the driver air bag module.

Position the front wheels in a straight ahead position and centralize steering wheel.
Remove the steering wheel.
Using a suitable insulation/masking tape, secure the cassette module to prevent movement from the centralized position.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Tighten to 47 Nm.
Take care not to damage or twist the driver air bag module cables.Attach the driver air bag module.
