Do you want to remove the steering wheel from the Jeep Wrangler? Here’s how to take off the steering wheel and airbag. Disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine bay. Use a socket or screwdriver to unscrew the securing screws of the steering wheel cover (where the airbag is located).

Once the airbag is released (driver's side), disconnect the power connectors and remove it from the steering wheel. After removing the airbag, unscrew the nut that secures the steering wheel (remove the steering wheel).

Dismantle the parts behind the steering wheel or replace it with a new one. Reconnect the airbag power connectors, then press the airbag back onto the steering wheel. Reconnect the battery terminals.
