Default Removing airbag MY99/00

I need to remove the airbag to get to the wiring for the horn. I can
see the torx screws on either side but they're as tight as f*ck

I want to confirm that's the way to get the airbag off and they're not
left-hand threads or something else obvious I am missing

P.S. I have already disconnected the airbag wire on the steering
column to reduce the risk of it going off in my face

Cheers,
Ian.

otherwise you will burr it over and fuck it!

i use a small 1/4 ratchet socket drive with the torx bit inserted to get mine off, took quite a bit of leverage to crack it, doubt i could have done it with a screwdriver variety torx bit
