To replace the indicator stalks on a Volkswagen Golf, you need to dismantle the airbag from the steering wheel and then the steering wheel itself. To do this, unscrew the screws at the back of the steering wheel and disconnect all the connectors present.

At this point, unscrew the bolts securing the protective panels around the indicator stalks, removing them to access the 25 mm Torx screws that secure the part. By unscrewing these screws, you can then remove the indicator stalks and replace them with new spare parts; after installation, reassemble all the previously removed parts.
