Before removing the steering wheel, disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine bay. Remove the inspection caps at the back of the steering wheel, then unscrew the airbag retaining screws with a screwdriver. Once the driver's side airbag is released, disconnect the power connectors and remove the airbag from the steering wheel.

For reinstallation, connect the power connectors, then press the airbag onto the steering wheel while simultaneously tightening the rear screws with the screwdriver.
