Default Quick steering wheel question

What do I need to remove the airbag? There's an annoying squeak on my steering wheel that's only getting worse. Something's gotta be loose under there.

Thanks in advance!

I have heard that hitting a tree at 25 mph will do the trick

C'mon, someone has to know. It's gotta be two torx screws or something.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's that. It doesn't happen when I turn the wheel. It happens on bumps or when I hit the steering wheel. And when I push the steering wheel in, it stops. That makes me think it's a loose bolt.

That's one job that if you have to ask you shouldn't be doing!

Plenty of scope for "**** up" for the uninformed.

How the heck could the airbag deploy? I wouldn't even have to disconnect it. I've taken out a few steering wheel/airbags in other cars and can't see how that's remotely possible.
