Christ third time in three weeks. I wish people would search!!!

Anyway:

You need to push the handle up into the steering wheel so the other end is going downwards. When you try it you'll see what I mean, but its easy to remove...if you try too hard, it becomes a real pain in the ass

Alex i did search im still quite unsure of how to remove it, as were playing with airbags here

what do u mean remove the undertray?

i thought the case was to disconnect the battery

then push two screwdrivers behind the steering wheel in the holes, this will pop out the airbag?

Underneath the steering wheel there is a plastic cover -you need to unscrew and remove this

Disconnect the battery, and follow my previous post instructions - they work
