How to Remove the Airbag in a Jetta?

[DiJackson]

Locate the screw hole on the left side of the steering wheel and use a T40 tool to loosen the screw. The screw only needs to be loosened as it cannot be completely removed due to internal positioning restrictions. After loosening the fixing screws at both ends, the airbag can be detached from the steering wheel, but it cannot be taken off completely because it is still connected by the clock spring wiring harness. You will notice that the back of the driver's airbag is connected to the clock spring wiring harness, which needs to be removed. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to release the fixing clip of the wiring harness, putting it in a non-fixed state. After releasing the locking mechanism, use the small flat-head screwdriver to disconnect the black connector. At this point, the main airbag can be completely removed.
