There is a tool for doing that but I can usually do this. the steering wheel lock plate is held on there by a little spring steel ring in a groove on the steering shaft. if you push the lock plate down and look at the middle you can see the ring it has a split in it I can usually push the plate down with one hand and use a pick tool or small screwdriver to then remove the metal clip. It will come right off after that
