disconnect the battery for at least 20 mins.then u can remover the steering wheel without any airbag probs.on the back of the wheel there are 2 screwsthat hold the airbag section on.take them out remove the airbag unit,u will have to disconnect the wire on the back.there is a little plug that u need to pull out the centre of the yellow airbag wire connector before u can pull the wire out.thats it,if u need the whole wheel off theres a bold behind there that u will see
