    Paul - You'll find two tabs on the rear of the wheel at 3 and 9. Pull those, remove those screws, pull the airbag, and you'll see the nut. Obviously disconnect the battery first.

    Right @Sgibb16 ?

    airbags in b8.5 facelift steering wheels are affixed with two spring clips at 3 and 9 o clock positions, and have replaced the torx bolts used in the past. hope this helps.
