This page currenly only covers the removal of the steering wheel airbag. This page covers 2 methods.

Rule 0 when playing with airbags, disconnect the earth connection from the battery.
Make sure it can’t accidentally move and touch the earth connection. Don’t reconnect it until you are finished.

Official Smart Method

If you look on eaither side of the steering wheel on the back, you’ll see a small indent.

You need to stab something long and thin through this hole so it pushes the clip shown previously.

Personally I have used a thin allen key but a thin screwdriver will do it too.

There are pros and cons of this method.
You don’t have to take the steering column surround off so it’s a bit quicker, however…
The official method pierces the rubber of the steering wheel and fishing around for the clip on each side is a pain.

Unofficial evilution Method

Can take a few minutes longer but easier in the long run. No piercing the steering wheel rubber like on the official method. Feel under the steering column and you’ll find 2x Torx20 screws to remove.

Split the upper and lower cover…
