I had two that were straight on and two that I had to get at an angle. Took me a day and a half until they finally popped out. There is no secret. Just stay at it.

Thanks I think the rear cover will get modified with my drill, since the steering wheel isn't worth anything it doesn't matter.

Its a pain but shouldnt take any longer than 5-10 minutes. The key -- when you hit 2 of the springs, do them on the same side. The airbag will slide out just a hair, dont let it slide back in. If I remember, I kept whatever I was using to pop the springs in the hole to hold it and used another tool to help on the other side. It takes a minute but you will see how its done.
