Removing a steering wheel and lock plate is reasonably easy these days with new tools that are available.
Like to know how to remove your steering wheel, leaving your index fingers intact on each hand?
The first step is to remove the steering wheel by taking the nut off of the steering column, and then pulling off your steering wheel using a steering wheel puller.
Without the steering wheel removed first you cannot remove the lock plate, as it sits under the steering wheel. It is so much easier with a lock plate remover than bothering with pliers, and is bound to save some swearing.
Read this article from Skywaytools which describes the process of steering wheel removal, and shows some special tools.
