Steering wheel removal

[moonirules]

Morning,

This one is a fix I wasn't planning on having to make.

My son has got a penny into the casing of the steering wheel so now when I corner there is a rattle almost as annoying as the child that caused it to happen.

I've seen some guides on removing steering wheel for airbag issues and most quote disconnecting battery and leaving for 20 mins before disconnecting airbag connections. Do I need to do this though? I'm not going to be pulling any wires away, I just want to free the cover on the front of the wheel so that I can see inside and recover the penny.

Thanks

I would say definitely disconnect the battery, when working anywhere near an air bag
