Has anyone removed the the airbag / horn from the steering wheel?

Had a look on the workshop manual and it says to make a tool to unhook it form the back.

I know to disconnect the battery and wait at least 30 minutes.

Its reall easy to do. Invert the steering wheel by 180. You will find it easier the steering wheel towards you. On the rear there are 2 holes with a slot next to them. I used a thin screwdriver in each hole then move them towards outwards to unclip the airbag. Takes about 30 secs to remove. I'll sort some pics later.

Here you go mate use a screw driver in each hole and move it outwards to unclip. I did one side at a time and eased the airbag forward to disengage it from the clip
