Removing the steering wheel on the Peugeot 208

Make sure that:
  1. Your wheels are aligned with the vehicle (steering wheel in central position)
  2. You key is not inserted in the ignition switch

Use a ratchet handle with a Torx socket to unscrew the steering wheel holding nut.
Kick the steering wheel from the back with both hands simultaneously.
This will free it immediately from the steering wheel column.
Take it out.
You can now access the steering switch assembly (clock spring, coil spring, stalk) behind it if that was the purpose of your intervention.
