steering column lower housing?

[fido]

Hey guys, I was replacing my flasher/blinker relay but I had trouble removing the lower plastic housing from the steering wheel column without breaking it. It should be simple right? There's one screw at the bottom. I can't find any other screws holding it in place. It just won't pry loose even with excessive force. Don't tell me I have to remove the whole steering wheel. The car in question has an air bag.

I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

you need to remove the steering wheel. there is one on the bottom that one you removed. however, there are 2 screws on the top cover securing the bottom one to it. those screws are hidden by the steering wheel

JUST ran into this very issue myself. too bad they didn't make getting it off easier. :(

It's an unnecessary PITA.
