    I think the bottom cover will come off w/o pulling the steering wheel.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      the lower cover comes off easily if you take off the kick panel. You need to take off or cut through the top though. So yea, you'll probably wind up taking off the steering wheel.

          usually you can break the plastic away pretty easily if your just going for the stalk at a pick and pull or something... you'd be lucky to have the keys

            It would be a good idea to take off the wheel.

              take off the wheel because there are 2 screws that you need to undo before you can take the stalk out.
