How do you remove the airbag on an 09 Focus I removed three screws behind steering wheel and expected to come right out It budge Is there more than clips?

Removing an airbag is dangerous and should only be done by a qualified mechanic. Improperly removing or handling an airbag can result in serious injury or death due to accidental deployment. The airbag contains a powerful explosive charge.

Even if you've removed screws, there are likely several other components holding the airbag in place, including:

* Electrical connectors: The airbag has a wiring harness connected to it. These connectors often require careful disconnection to avoid damaging the wires or the connector itself.

* Clips or retainers: Beyond the screws, there are almost certainly plastic clips or other retaining mechanisms that secure the airbag module to the steering wheel. These are usually hidden and require careful manipulation to release. Forcing them can break them, leaving you with a more difficult repair.

* Spring-loaded mechanisms: Some airbag systems incorporate spring-loaded mechanisms which require specific procedures to release safely.

Do not attempt to force the airbag out. You risk damaging the airbag module, the steering wheel, or injuring yourself. Consult a repair manual specific to your 2009 Ford Focus or take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for airbag removal and replacement. Improper handling could lead to expensive repairs, or worse.
