Fitting Steering Wheel With Airbag - How To

[1fast6]

What is the correct way to go about removing the old wheel and its corresponding airbag then refitting with a new one?

This is for a mk1 phase 3.

Does the battery have to be disconnected? What danger is there of the canister going off while i am working on it?

Any advice appriciated.

Half an hour will do it...easy job.

Disconnect battery and leave for 15-30mins, undo bolts on the reverse of wheel, slide the centre section out. There will be a ribbon like wire attached to the rear of the canister...unclip this and remvoe the entire airbag assembly. Beyond that you can unbolt the old wheel...refit is reverse of removal.

I did mine twice on a megane 1...doub the clio will be any different.
