SIR coil removal
Hi-
I have a 1990 with a broken horn connection. I've done these before, but this car has an air bag coil thing sitting there after I removed the steering wheel. Can someone please tell me how to remove it in order to get to that white plastic socket assembly that used to hold the horn connector bayonet in?
Thanks,
Ivan PS Had a pix I wanted to attach but it says "I MAY NOT post attachments" Don't know why......

Removing the airbag. Disconnect the battery. Pull the fuse controlling the airbag. At the rear of the steering wheel spokes are imbedded two torx screws (size T-27 ). Unscrew these two screws and then GENTLY lift off the airbag. I advise being off to one side of the steering wheel while doing this, as an improperly handled airbag can be dangerous. (These things are shipped all over the country without problem but I would rather be cautious). BE SURE THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL POWER AVAILABLE!!!!
After the airbag is removed, the buttons, contacts and wires are easily accessible.

coil in column
Thanks wildride-
Got the airbag out and pulled the steering wheel as well. Now I see a coil assembly that the airbag wire came from. It looks like a television yoke (round, yellow) and is inserted in the column housing. There are exact placement warnings etc. on it, but I don't know if I should just pry it out or does it interlock somehow? I want to post an attachment, but I am not "allowed" to. Don't know why.
