unhook the battery then the back side of the steering wheel has 2 bolts you take out one on each side then you can slide the bag out then you undo the plug on the back side. to get the passenger one out you need to take the dash out to do it the easy way.there are only a few bolts that hold that in place. 2 bolts are behind the glove box and you need to take out the for screws and the two riv nuts that are right behind the glove box door
You will have to turn the steering wheel vertical and wedge a small flat-head screw driver into the whole on each side. Pull up with screwdriver and the airbag will pop off on each side. Then just remove and you're done.
Remember... don't pull hard because the wiring harness is still connected. Gently pull off and disconnect harness.

Hi sonny,

Many thanks

Fabzuk,
Once you remove the airbag and disconnect the harness, as Sonny stated, you will need a torx socket to remove the steering wheel. If I had to guess, it would probably be a T-55 size torx.

Unless you are extremely handy with tools, leave it to the dealer or a mechanic. People get seriously hurt trying to remove their airbags more that you would ever imagine.
The air bag light is on because there is a problem with the system and it is not in operation. Until the problem is fixed the light will stay on.
It is illegal to remove an air bag.
Drive and hit a brick wall, the airbag will deploy. Then remove it.
How do you remove the bottom front right airbag on a 2011 ford fiesta.
simply pull tha airbag fuse. remove the 4 torx head scres behind the airbag and remove airbag. unplug theelectrical connector. remove the big nut holding the steering whell. use a puller to remove the steering wheel.
No
Don't do that!It's a major mistake to that!The airbag is a safety device.
You shouldn't remove the airbag and subsequently drive without a passenger side airbag. The only purpose to remove the air bag in that case is to kill the passenger. The alteration or removal of an airbag resulting in death is an act that will face criminal prosecution. My 2001 Dodge 3500 passenger side airbag can be disarmed with the key on the dash. No need to remove it.
You can't disable the airbag on the driver side. You could remove the airbag.
Crash.
The only way to switch off the airbag light is to remove the airbag light or remove the airbag light fuse. The airbag light fuse will disable several other instrument panel warning lights.
4 bolts are romoved from the backsode of the steering wheel. If airbag equipped remove airbag fuse first. Then remove airbag/ horn/ center assembly. Remove large nut from center of wheel, then pull wheel with steering wheel puller.
Carefully
you dont
