Do you need to remove steering wheel to take dash board out?

I did and it's an easy job to remove the wheel (I don't think you have the space to remove the dash without? I always planned on taking the wheel off so never found out myself)

Air bag puts me off!
Or is it a simple job to remove airbag and wheel?

It is simple, just ensure you disconnect the battery a good 30 minute before removing the bag. My bag just unclipped (there's 2 tabs on the rear of the wheel that need depressing) and the bag comes out. just be-careful with the wires that simply unplug and then it's same as removing a normal wheel

So with wheel off is it a straight forward job removing dash?
