First, unscrew the screw located under the steering wheel with a screwdriver. Next, remove the rear cover behind the steering wheel and unscrew the side screws with a 30mm Torx key; this way, you can remove the front part of the steering wheel and then the airbag! Now, reassemble everything: check the condition of the airbag as it may need replacing if it is damaged.
