2003 E Class Steering Wheel

Hi there I would like to know if anyone out there has changed the steering wheel on there E Class. I have a new steering wheel to install in mine but when I loosened the screws on the back of the wheel and pulled out the centre section horn/airbag I could not figure out how to disconnect the clips for the air bag. I did not want to pry to much just in case they would break. There is 1 plug that goes to the steering column were the steering wheel bolt is and there is 3 plugs that are on the back of the centre section/Horn airbag. Were do I disconnect from and how. I tried but couldn't get the wiring clips to unclip from either end.

Thanks Joe

Many of us have changed the steering wheel including myself. The clips do come apart but not by prying. Use a flat blade screw driver to lift up the locking mechanism. See this thread with pics of steering wheel removal...you'll see what I'm talking about.
