the switch pivots on two pins. the pin closest to the airbag snaps into a slot; the pin towards the outer diameter of the wheel isinserted into a hole.


to remove, pull up on the edges of the switch closest to the airbag:




then, pull the switch towards the center of the wheel to release pin on switch from hole in mount. ( the force required to pop off the switch in step one usually renders this step unecessary )



here is a close up of the pin that snaps into the mounting slot:





here is a closeup of the mounting slot, and the mounting hole for the two pins on the switch:




good luck,

Thanks a million.
