To remove the steering wheel cover on a 2019 Hino Dyna 2.5 RON, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Locate the steering wheel cover release lever: This is typically located on the back of the steering wheel, near the bottom. It will be a small lever that you can pull down to release the cover.
2. Release the steering wheel cover: Once you have located the release lever, pull it down to release the cover. It should come off easily.
3. Remove the cover: Once the cover is released, you can remove it from the steering wheel.
4. Disconnect the airbag connector: Before you remove the steering wheel, you will need to disconnect the airbag connector. This is located at the back of the steering wheel. Disconnect it by pressing the release tab and pulling it out.
5. Remove the steering wheel: Now, you can remove the steering wheel by removing the steering wheel nut with a steering wheel puller or a steering wheel lock plate tool.
6. Reinstallation: reverse the process to reinstall the steering wheel cover.

It's important to note that these steps may not be the same for all models, so it's best to consult your owner's manual or take it to a professional mechanic for further assistance.
Also, take care when handling the airbag, disconnecting it could cause it to deploy. If you are not comfortable with the process please seek professional help.

First remove the horn pad. With the horn pad remover, remove the nut that secures the steering wheel to the shaft. Connect a steering wheel puller to the steering wheel and tighten the puller's bolt to remove the steering wheel.

Parts stores sell an inexpensive steering wheel removal puller. Follow repair manual removal procedure, so the air bag doesn't activate. The steering wheel is retained by a large nut on the steering wheel shaft. Remove the nut, and attach the puller to wheel-it should pull right off.

STEERING Steering Wheel REMOVAL & INSTALLATION Without Air Bag EXCEPT F-SUPER DUTY STRIPPED CHASSIS MODELS AND MOTOR HOME CHASSIS MODELS Fig. 1: Remove the screws from behind the wheel - F-150 model without air bag
Fig. 2: Pull away the cover with the wiring still connected
Fig. 3: Disconnect the wiring at the steering wheel
Fig. 4: Matchmark the steering wheel
Fig. 5: Remove the center nut from the steering wheel
Fig. 6: Use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel
Fig. 7: Remove the steering wheel from the shaft
Fig. 8: Correct steering wheel installation
NOTE: The factory recommends that the front wheels be set in the straight-ahead position and you paint or make chalk marks on the column and steering wheel hub for alignment purposes during installation. Of these two safeguards, it is more important to mark the column so even if the column is moved slightly, the steering wheel can still be repositioned in its original position.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the one screw from the underside of each steering wheel spoke, and lift the horn switch assembly (steering wheel pad) from the steering wheel. On vehicles equipped with the sport steering wheel option, pry the button cover off with a suitable prytool.
3. Disconnect the horn switch wires at the connector and remove the switch assembly. On trucks equipped with speed control, squeeze the J-clip ground wire terminal firmly and pull it out of the hole in the steering wheel. Don't pull the wire out without squeezing the clip.
4. Remove the horn switch assembly.
5. Remove the steering wheel retaining nut and remove the steering wheel with a puller. WARNING
   Never hammer on the wheel or shaft to remove it! Never use a knock-off type puller.
   
6. Install the steering wheel in the reverse order of removal. Tighten the shaft nut to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm)

5. Remove the steering wheel retaining bolt.
6. Install the Differential Bearing Cone Remover/Replacer, No. T77F-4220B1, or equivalent, and remove the steering wheel. Route the contact assembly harnesses through the steering wheel as it is lifted off of the shaft. To install: NOTE: Make sure the front wheels are still in the straight-ahead position prior to installation.
   
7. Route the air bag sliding contact wiring through the steering wheel at the 3 o'clock position. Position the steering wheel on the shaft an align the marks. Make sure not to pinch the contact wire. WARNING
   Make sure no air gets trapped between the steering wheel and air bag sliding contact.
   
8. Install a new steering wheel retaining bolt, then tighten to 23-33 ft. lbs. (31-45 Nm).
9. Connect the horn/speed control wiring and clip in place. Connect the air bag wire harness. Tighten the module retaining nuts to 35-53 inch lbs. (4-6 Nm). NOTE: When the battery cable has been disconnected, then reconnected, some abnormal driving symptoms may occur for the first 10 miles (16 km) until the PCM re-learns it adaptive strategy.
   
10. Connect the battery to starter cable. Verify the air bag warning indicator light on the instrument panel.
