You NEED a puller to remove the wheel. Its Mother to get off with out one.
Most cheap tool and auto-parts stores sell them for under 20 bucks.

The other thing that goes wrong is the rign or the brush wear out and dont make contact anymore.

Wait a sec; the FSM does not mention pulling the wheel to check the contact.  It seems it can be done without hving to pull the wheel, right?

i'm going to say yes but i think you need to for the brush, can't remember exactly

There are two sets of contacts, one is under the button, the other is the slip ring on the back of the steering wheel.

The slip ring contact wears out and you have to pull the wheel to get it off,
if the slip ring is bad sometimes you have to replace the hub or the whole wheel.... 
Use a sharpy to mark the wheel and hub so you can get them back in the same
place otherwise the wheel and turn signal cancelling are out of sync....

This is really easy so dont sweat it, do it once and your an expert. 
Good luck.

Oh yea,,, leave the hub nut on to keep the wheel from popping off and hitting you in the face when the puller pulls it free...

"If there are no pictures it never happened...."

Hmm, never had any problems removing my wheel.  Came off without the need of a puller.

the stock one on mine came off w/o puller, i have an aftermarket now and that one is no way coming off without it.

Well, I learned a couple of things today...

1. I DO need a puller to take my steering heel out
2. My problem was NOT thecontact
3. Never trust mechanics to check the basic stuff (like, say, a relay), as many times they dont check $h!t....

My problem was fixed as easily zs cha ging my horn relay...
