umm, yes, it's 3 posts above the one i posted. i've read this link about 6 times on both pages. it states how to fix but not how to remove steering wheel. i see 2 holes behind the steering wheel, and 4 phillips screws when you turn the wheel. does anyone know which of these screws i need to take off to reach the gasket?

i posted 2 pics of all the screws i saw, do i need to take out screws in pic 1 or screws in pic 2 to access the washers?

thanks

The screws in your second pic.

Ok I guess it's not entirely clear in that thread, but post #7 in that thread does mention:
The 4 spoke air bag comes off just like a 3 spoke. Disconnect the negative cable to the battery and you need a T30 torx driver for the 2 torx screws behind the wheel.
I now remember I did some additional searching on renntech looking for steering wheel removal before diving in, if I find it I'll post it. It's pretty straight forward, just a little nerve wracking working with the air bag.
