This isn't really going to help you in the sense you want, but be REAL careful around airbags. If you want to remove them you have to use the EXACT manufacturers procedures or they either might activate on you (seen it happen -wasn't my car, but still scared the #$%@^ out of us) or you could damage the clock-spring and the bag won't work if you need it. Touchy little buggers.

Are you SURE you can't get that key out? I broke one off in a 66 Bel Air, and we were able to spray a bunch of lock-eze (graphite lubricant) in there and coax it out with a couple of small screwdrivers. Much easier than trying to disassemble a steering column.
