Thanks, great video and helpful. Took a lot of patience but eventually had to buy an endoscope to see the pin and screwdriver to know I was pushing on the right spot. Even when I was on the pin I have to press the pin and pull on the edge of the airbag to get it to release
I have spent hours, I mean HOURS trying to release the two side springs. The bottom spring releases easily and can be seen through its hole, but the side releases seemed impossible. I finally was able to get the airbag module unlatched and once you know what tool to use and exactly where to place it, the job is quick and easy as shown. First, you may get the bottom spring to unlatch with a screwdriver, but the sides ones will not release with a screwdriver and you must use a hook tool. I was only able to figure it out by using a borescope and visually finding the end of the springs so I knew where to probe. Orient the sharp end toward you after insertion and slide it along the metal ridge while remaining in contact with the metal and bingo it will immediately release. If you use the hook without knowing where to orient it or place it, you will spend hours fooling around. A screwdriver is too wide so don't use one and unless you hold the hook tool just right and slide it up just so, it won't unlatch. Once you have it figured out, you can do it in your sleep. For all my trouble removing the airbag, I saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars and many hours of drive time and wait time at the dealer and, with the help of the video, I got the job done.
Thanks for this video! Does anyone have a video on how to replace the clips? I was driving one day and one fell out on to the floor below me. Dealer says airbag had to be replaced and total cost is 1K.
Thank you very much. Replacing the clock spring and there was no good explanation on getting the airbag out. This is perfect

Super ovjasnjenje, a ne ko ostali, radi na vilanu nista se ne vidi
Buy a cheap usb c endoscope for $18 +/- straight auto pick. Youll be happy you did.
Could you tell me if the silver trim piece on the bottom of the steering wheel is easily removable without removing the horn pad?
I highly doubt you’ll get it off without taking off the airbag
@@philipskorykh9357 thank you
