Default How do I remove the steering wheel airbag?

Hi!
I need to replace the ignition switch in the steering column, and I need to remove the airbag. I have the Bentley guide, but I am not finding the little hooks in the holes behind the steering wheel to release the airbag catches. Is there some magical trick to get this to work on my '98? I found an "old forum" link that addresses this issue, but the link errors.
Thanks!

Did it! But, I had to use a LOT of force up and in, and then down. WAY TOO MUCH FORCE! Break things kinda level. I'll look it over to see why.
