This reveals the assembly nut that keep the steering wheel mated to the steering column. Remove this nut, then get a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel. It is a splined assembly, so rotate the wheel accordingly, then reinstall.
Its pretty easy, I can do the whole process in less than 5minutes, and the best part is you can do it all while seated and never crawl under the truck!

Bad idea. The steering wheel needs to be centered in the travel of the clock spring - and moving it ~1/2 a turn the wrong way can cause problems down the line.
This is all assuming that the steering wheel only got turned that ~1/2 turn during the original install...
