How to remove the steering wheel in the Citroen C5?

Model: Citroen C5 DC, MK 1 - Years 2000-2008
Part: Steering wheel

In this tutorial, we can see how to disassemble the steering wheel in the Citroen C5, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, let's make sure that the key is not inserted, then open the hood and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid accidental airbag activation. Next, let's go inside the cabin, turn the steering wheel 90 degrees, and using a flat-head screwdriver, unclip the clip located at the back. At this point, we just need to repeat the operation on the opposite side, remove the airbag from its housing, disconnect the connectors, and unscrew the large central bolt.
