I use a 1/2" ratchet with the key out of the ignition. The ignition lock will hold the steering wheel while you loosen it up. Do not pull the nut all the way off. Hold the steering wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock and wiggle it back and forth. It will come loose. Then remove the nut and wheel. Other wise you might pull on the steering wheel and have a mouth full of it. BTDT. LOL

Samee,
Don't forget to disconnect the ground wire from the batt unless you like sparks and unexpected loud noises. BTDT.

Sameer,
Are you talking about the nut in the seat or the nut under the horn button? Both are required to remove the wheel. Just pry up the horn button and you will see the big nut.
