Want to remove the steering wheel from the Golf 7? Enter the cabin and see how to dismantle and reassemble the steering wheel. Disconnect the battery terminals; insert the removal keys into the slots at the back of the steering wheel and release the clips until the steering wheel is free.

Once the airbag is detached, disconnect its power connectors and remove it from the steering wheel. Unscrew the nut in the centre, then remove the steering wheel.

Position the steering wheel on the steering column and tighten the nut, then connect the airbag power connector and press it back onto the steering wheel (tighten the securing pins). Replace any damaged components on the steering wheel.
