The steering wheel flops around, up & down, still steers, has air bag. How do I fix without deploying air bag?

DISABLING AIR BAG SYSTEM
WARNING:Back-up power supply will hold a deployment charge for approximately one minute after battery positive cable is disconnected. Servicing SRS before deployment charge is depleted may cause accidental air bag deployment and possible personal injury.

NOTE:Use following disabling procedure for component replacement purposes only. If vehicle was involved in a collision and air bag did not deploy, or SRS is not functioning properly and vehicle needs to be driven, complete system deactivation is required.

Disconnect negative and then positive battery cables. Shield both cables. Air bag system contains a back-up power supply built into the air bag diagnostic monitor. Wait a minimum of one minute before servicing any air bag system components. System is now disabled.
