The Bentley manual says:

1.  Prise off steering wheel pad.
2.  Prise out horn push.
3.  Withdraw the horn brush connection.
4.  Remove the nut and washer securing steering wheel hub to steering mast.
5.  To ensure that the steering wheel hub will be replaced
    in its original spline location scribe both hub centre
    and top of steering mast.
6.  Using a suitable extractor withdraw the steering wheel.

Haven't done it myself, but that's what it says.
