This brief video tutorial explains how to remove the airbag from the steering wheel, in case you need to replace or repair it. The operation is somewhat complex, so it is advisable to go to a workshop to carry it out. First, sit in the driver's seat and unscrew the two fixing screws of the airbag located under the steering wheel.

Carefully disconnect the electrical connector at the back and then unscrew the steering wheel fixing bolt with a socket wrench.

To reassemble, simply follow the reverse procedure.
