How does one remove , Deployed Stearing wheel Airbags, from a 1996 Chevy Astro Van.
I took out the two Torx Screws, from the back, and that loosens a Plastic Stearing wheel case,,, Is there Some sort of tabs,,,, or magical way...


Also the Passenger side since were doing that as well....
thanks for all your help in this great Forum

I figured out, how to remove the airbags on the Steering wheel....

1) I took off the Rear Steering wheel cover, held by two Torax screws

2) Then I pulled it back a little, noticed a Little Rod Clip, along the 4 Corners of each of the Airbag Inserts...

Depresssing this tang, with a Simble Small Regular Screwdriver did the Job... while Up Lifting a Little Pressure on the Air Bag Module...

Also one could simply move the Tang from the Rear as well, without removing the Little Torx Screw.....

Then Simply Un-Hook, the Electrical Connection...
