To remove the driver's airbag from the Opel Astra, first, you need to detach some components of the steering wheel. Start by removing the plastic covers located on the spokes of the steering wheel.

Unscrew the screws that hold them in place from the back of the steering wheel. You also need to unscrew the screws connecting to the steering wheel controls (these are also located behind the steering wheel, as shown in the video).

Finally, proceed to remove the airbag unit by leveraging a screwdriver in the three inner holes located at the back of the steering wheel. Disconnect the wires connected to the airbag unit, and you're done!
