Today, let's go through the steps to remove and replace the steering wheel airbag in a Toyota Camry. First, open the hood of the vehicle and disconnect both battery terminals (positive and negative).

Next, remove the two plastic covers located behind the steering wheel by unscrewing the mounting screws to detach and remove them (disconnecting the electrical connector), as shown in the video. This will allow you to take off and replace the steering wheel if necessary by unscrewing its center screw.

Then, install the new airbag!
