WARNING
Disconnect the negative terminal on your battery before beginning this procedure. Otherwise, the horn will honk when the center bolt of the wheel is removed.
1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. This is to prevent the airbag from deploying accidentally.

3. Gently pry the airbag module out of the steering wheel. Be careful not to damage the airbag module.
4. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the airbag module.
