Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble the steering wheel and its airbag of the Opel Astra. First, we open the car's hood and start by disconnecting the battery terminals as a precaution; then we climb aboard the cabin and begin to disassemble the airbag, pushing inside the rear holes and disconnecting the electrical connector, as shown in the video.

At this point, we unscrew the central screw of the steering wheel to remove it, disconnecting the wiring of the steering wheel controls; we correctly reassemble the steering wheel and finally its airbag.
