I beleive that once you remove the plastic pieces around the steering column then there are screws that hold the airbag in from the back. Make sure you remove the fuse for the airbag and disconnect the battery before you do anything.

Just do a search on manuals and download the applicable one for your car..

It will tell you EXACTLY what to do.

I say bad idea but its about what you like..
