How do I remove the Steering Wheel

I found a nice leather covered steering wheel at the bone yard. I did remove 2 screws on the back side of the steering wheel ,thinking that will release the air-bag, no luck. So? how do I get the air bag off in order to get at the steering wheel nut.

I dont know about the 2 screws but the factory manual shows a special tool being inserted into the back of the steering wheel to release some clips or springs.

You are correct there are slots at the back. Next step is where do I find that tool, hopefully I can rent it. Thanks for the info

Here's an excerpt from a newsgroup that might help??

All you need is a couple of pocket screwdrivers and some patience to get
it out I do it all the time...Also you can trip an air bag using just a
multimeter....Was at a dealer training session where they showed
us....Disconnect the battery waite about 3-5 mins for the modules to go
into sleep mode..Then Unplug the airbag from under the dash ...Then you
should have no probems...Air bags are not mandatory...At least not here
in Tx you can take them all out and still pass inspection...Not like
with the seatbelts which are manditory....

Here's a pic of the tool so you can see what it's shaped like

Thanks for the info, I did go to the bone but unfortunatly for me the 99 Intrigue was gone.
