Hi Al.

Sorry Im not around to help but bit of advice. Its a b***h to remove the airbag as you say and gotta be careful not to deform the edges of the cover while pulling.

So get someone to pop a flathead in to unhook the airbag on one side and then you grasp the airbag from the the top and side using both hands and pull steadily with a constand force. If it doesnt budge get the person whose holding the flathead to joggle it a bit and should come free! Worked for me!

Good luck!!  :happy2:
