Driver Airbag Removal Instructions

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Airbag

Before proceeding with the removal of the driver airbag, disconnect the battery to prevent the airbag warning light from illuminating on the dashboard and to avoid accidental deployment. The airbag is secured to the steering wheel with two Torx screws using a T30 key, located just behind the spokes of the steering wheel. There are two holes behind the spokes through which you can insert the key and unscrew the airbag securing screws. Once the two securing screws are removed, pull the airbag away from its housing and disconnect the connector by first removing the safety clip.
