Default Steering wheel/airbag removal

I have looked through a few threads already but I am trying to find out the simple way to disconnect the driver airbag in the steering wheel and remove the steering wheel/airbag assembly together? Any references or pictures would be great! What electrical (if any) needs to be disconnected so that the airbag won't deploy during removal?

Thanks

Curious about this also. If just disconnecting the battery is enough. Seems like that would kill power to the air bag, but I've never messed with one before

Second post down in this thread http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...l-removal.html there is a pdf on how to do it.

I removed mine using those instructions and ran into no problems.
