DIY: Removing Steering Wheel and/or Airbag

Figured I'd post this up for the archives.....

1) Disconnect the battery

2) Behind the steering wheel on each side there are screws which old the airbag in place. Start by popping out the covers over the screws. Then use a T30 to remove both screws. Note: I found it helpful to turn the wheel so the screw was at the bottom...this gave me more room to get the tool to fit.

3) Once both airbag screws are lose the airbag will come out....it is held in by a wire with a yellow plug. Use a flat head to pop the plug out of the airbag.

4) Next make sure your wheel is straight....and if you want to be precise you can mark the nut and center bolt with white out or a sharpie so you can put the steering wheel back on straight.

5) Remove the nut on the center bolt with a 24mm socket

6) The wheel should pull right off....gently rock it side to side if it doesn't come right off.

It goes back on in reverse
