nope, there is a little hole right above the cruise control. like the same area on both sides. they are hard to see because the screws are deep. you may need a flashlight to see them...

it loosens up the airbag, you pull it forward, and then there are screws (philips head) on each of the steering wheels caps. remove those, and then pull towards you. should come right off.
