Thank you for your reply but there are no recessed screws, there are a couple of tiny holes either side, but they look more like moulding holes. So I am still in need of help.
I've done it!!! the 2 holes on the side of the steering wheel are for an airbag removal tool, you shove it in one side and it eases up a little, shove it in the other side and bingo off she pops, easy when you know how.
