To replace the chrome steering wheel frame of the Audi A6C7, the airbag must be removed and disassembled.
Removing the Audi A6 C7 airbag:
- turn the steering wheel 90 degrees
- with a flat screwdriver, the lock is moved behind the steering wheel
- turn the steering wheel another 180 degrees
- the lock is also moved with a flat screwdriver
- the airbag is removed from the steering wheel and the connectors are disconnected behind it
If you need to remove the steering wheel, you will need to unscrew the nut with the Spline M12
The chrome frame is soldered, so you will need a soldering iron and an engraver, you can try to cut it with a knife, but it is very inconvenient.
An attempt to sand and paint the old frame failed, the paint does not fit well even with the plastic primer and no longer looks like chrome.
