How to remove the airbag from the steering wheel of the Seat Altea

Model: Seat Altea MK 1 - Years 2004-2015
Part: Airbag

In this video, we can see how to remove the airbag from the steering wheel of the Seat Altea. First of all, we will need to disconnect the negative pole of the battery to make sure the airbag doesn't explode in our face. Then, we turn the steering wheel so that we can see on the back of it, a small hole that allows us to insert a thin screwdriver inside. Then we turn it completely to the other side and we will find another identical hole. We insert the screwdrivers one by one, pushing upwards the spring inside, in order to release the module located in the center of the steering wheel. Now we can disconnect the electrical contact inside and the job is done.
