Before starting, sit in the driver's seat of your Ford Fiesta. Begin by releasing the internal clip of the steering wheel using a thin, long tool inserted into the holes on all four sides of the steering column.

This will free the airbag, which you need to remove. Next, disconnect the rear connectors, and the disassembly will be complete.

To install the new airbag, simply follow this procedure in reverse, and the replacement will be finished.
