Need help removing OEM steering wheel!

[FerrariKiller]

Hi all,
I was thinking about replacing the OEM steering wheel with a Momo steering wheel but not quite sure how to remove the steering wheel. I'm sure it's not hard but just don't want to damage the factory wheel/airbag just in case I want to put it back later. I try the search but came up with no details
All I see is a plastic cover on the left side of the wheel column. Once I opened that I see two screws with a hexagon pattern. Are these the ones I need to remove first? I tried but they wouldn't move.
Any help is appreciated!
Eric

Make sure the wheel are straight before removing the steering wheel.

If I recall correctly, you will need a Torx T30 to remove the torx screws for the airbag.

The center steering wheel nut is a 19mm. Tighten back to 36 lb-ft.

See service manual: pg 577-580

If you search on Dali Racing site, I remember that they had a DIY instrucitons also for replacing steering wheel with aftermarket.

Honda manuals also specify that battery should be disconnected.

Here you have a diagram:
