How hard is it...

to pop off the trim on the steering wheel. It's the piece that goes around the horn and the multi-function buttons. Anyone know which piece I'm talking about? lol.

Thanks for the quick responses. So based on the DIY you showed me, the steering wheel must be taken off to pop off the trim piece?

No.. all you have to do to take off the cover is to take out the airbag and just unscrew the three screws on the back of the steering wheel to take it off.

How hard is it to take out the airbag? I'd hate to screw something major up like the airbag just to replace that little trim piece.
