β Make sure that the round closed recess -3- in the base of the
steering wheel -2- is in the highest position above steering
column trim -1-.
Note
The closed recess in the base of the steering wheel is one of two
breaking points for removing the driver side airbag.
For the steps below, a commercially available pin punch with a
shaft diameter of 5 or 6 mm is required.
β Mask off the end of the pin punch handle with commercially
available adhesive tape to prevent the dash panel insert and
steering column switch trim from being scratched.
β Position pin punch parallel to steering column axis, and pierce
breaking point at base of steering wheel.
β Insert pin punch into base of steering wheel as far as stop, and
pull it back by 1 to 2 mm.
β’
The tip of the pin punch -2- is now inside the coil of spring
-3-.
Caution
Never push the pin punch downwards. Risk of damage.
β Pull pin punch -2- upwards βwith slight forceβ.
β This will move the coil of spring -3- towards the centre of the
steering wheel -arrow A-.
β At the same time, the right arm of the spring moveslkoutwards
-arrow B-.
As a result, the driver airbag -1- is released from the catch on the
left side of the steering wheel.
