I've tried but I can't seem to figure out how to remove the steering wheel cover on my '99 Rodeo. The horn button keeps getting stuck and I want to try and fix it.
If anyone knows the secret of how to remove it please post it here.

Removal
1.Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle’s wheels
are pointing straight ahead.
2.Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”.
3. Disconnect the battery “–” terminal cable, and wait at
least 5 minutes.
4. Disconnect the yellow 2-way SRS connector located
under the steering column.
5. Loosen the inflator module fixing bolt from behind the
steering wheel assembly using a TORX) driver or
equivalent until the inflator module can be released
from steering assembly .
WARNING: THE INFLATOR MODULE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE CARRIED WITH THE URETHANE
COVER AWAY FROM YOUR BODY AND SHOULD
ALWAYS BE LAID ON A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE
URETHANE SIDE UP. THIS IS NECESSARY
BECAUSE A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW
THE AIR CUSHION TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT .
I would also remove the SRS fuses. They are in the fuse box in the dash and should have yellow plastic peices behind them. Be very carefull while working on it, you dont want to set off the airbag.
