Steering wheel - strange noise

For the past week or so my steering wheel has made a strange noise. It's an occasional crack or scratchy noise. Definitely from behind the steering wheel. It sounds like a bearing - is there one? Any ideas how difficult it is to remove the steering wheel? I'm a bit nervy of the airbag going off. :)

Thanks.

There's a universal joint buried down under the bonnet - I've heard it can get dry and that spray grease can ease it.

It's higher up than that - it sounds like it's coming from right behind the steering wheel. :? Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

could it be the indicator self cancelling, do they work and cancel ok.?? or the clock spring for the airbag.
have a look at these links below.click on the black numbers on the diagrams, then look to the left, it tells you what each part is etc.
