Removing the steering wheel on a Volkswagen Golf 7 is a quick and straightforward task. Start by removing the airbag, but for safety, disconnect the battery first by unscrewing the two terminals (it is recommended to disconnect the positive terminal last and the negative first).

Now, for the steering wheel: first, remove the upper plastic cover located behind it. To extract the airbag, insert a flat screwdriver into the two side holes and push the clips that hold it in place, as shown in the video. Once the airbag is removed, disconnect its connectors and unscrew the central Torx screw of the steering wheel.
