Default Removing Steering Wheel....

I've read several Threads on removing the steering wheel and they all say remove the Tabs on both sides of the steering wheel to get access to the torque screws to remove the airbag. My problem is I have the volume etc. controls on the left side and it isn't coming off. I don't won't to break it. There is a little hole the back of it but there is nothing inside to push to release the controls from the wheel. Has anyone removed this before?

Finally got it off. Not entirely sure why the pin hole is there. It doesn't really serve a purpose. There is basically a clip in the front and the back that holds the plastic cover on. If you take a flat head screw driver on both sides and wedge the cover pops right off. The actual volume control module still in place and held in by 2 screws. By removing the outer cover as explained you now have access to the other torque screw.
