If 4 spoke.. you have 4 torx screws that you access from behind the wheel. Unscrew them and the air bag/center of the wheel comes out. The frame sits inside the steering wheel and "floats" the air bag.

I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!! <<<<< Am I clear??

If you decide to do this.. BEFORE you disconnect the battery, make sure you have the radio code

The torx screws can be difficult to remove. You'll have to turn the wheel depending on how long your torx screw driver is.. they are kinda buried into the back of the wheel.

Unexpected airbag deployment can be startling!

Hey, More, you should do a forum search - the problem has been discussed a few times before and you may pick up some good tips from the other posts. Common problem with 4-spoke wheels.
