Airbag and T-bar removal

G'day all,

Having a few hassles with removing the driver's airbag on a 2008 Boxster 987 with auto transmission.

I have been told there are ' 2 tabs '.. well... ok, I've pressed a flat blade screw driver everywhere around the wheel etc, but can't find anyway to release it!?!? I'm sure it's a simple procedure, or then again, maybe I'm just too simple

So, if anybody could give me a good explanation on how to remove the airbag, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, the auto T-bar knob... how the heck does one remove that thing?? I cannot locate any screws, it doesn't twist off, the bottom doesn't drop down? I'm 95 per cent into removing the dash assy on this vehicle, but these 2 things are slowing me down a little bit!

Any pics or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

turn the steering wheel so the hole in the side is accessible. With a long screw driver (i use a t30 torx) stick it in the hole and pull off the airbag

Question

OK, fair enough. I did notice a hole which I did stick a screw driver inside and moved and twisted, but to no avail. I noticed when I was moving the driver around, the horn would sound, so it is some kind of lever.

I'll try in the morning, when I get back to the shop, and gice it a good reef to see if I can release the bloody thing!

Can anybody help with the t-bar knob?
