Accepted Answer

heres the instructions from the manual.

 

 

Remove the air bag system inflator module as follows:

  1. Make sure the air bag system is disabled and the negative battery disconnected.

  2. Turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, this will enable you to gain access to the rear shroud holes-to-inflator module.

  3. Insert a pry tool and push the leaf spring to release the pin.

  4. Turn the steering wheel 180 degrees to access the remaining shroud holes, then repeat the procedure to release the pin using the pry tool.

  5. Tilt the inflator module rearward from the top to access the module electrical wiring, then disengage the wiring from the module and the steering wheel.

  6. Unplug the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and retainer from the module.
