Removing the Mini Cooper S airbag

Model: Mini Mini R52, R53, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Airbag

Do we want to remove the airbag or the steering wheel of the Mini Cooper? Let's see how the airbag is released from above the car's steering wheel. We insert the screwdriver to the side of the steering wheel cover (rear of the steering wheel). We press the screwdriver into the hole until the airbag is released from the steering wheel. Once the airbag (driver's side) has been released, disconnect the power supply terminals and extract it from the steering wheel. To refit the airbag, just fix the airbag above the steering wheel and press until it locks completely. We disconnect and connect all electrical operating terminals before mounting the airbag.
