BEST Tutorial removing e46 BMW steering wheel airbag diy  

Hands down best sport steering wheel removal diy; this single handedly saved me like 2 hours. Three quick tips: 1. Use as “flat” a flathead screw driver you can find. If the tip is curved, the spring can easily slip and you’ll have a terrible time trying to get it off since the spring will just pop back 2. When you reinstall the wheel, tighten the torx t-30 bolts so the spring and mount assembly is rigid; the springs have a lower tendency to slip when the whole assembly is nicely locked into place 3. When you have the airbag off, try doing the whole removal process a couple of times so you get some muscle memory if you need to repeat this again.

Legend! I struggled for 30 mins, saw this video and had the airbag out in under a minute.

Thank you, sir. You are a gentleman & and a scholar.

Excelent explanation. Thank you!

Thank you for actually explaining, literally the only video on RU-vid that does this. I put the airbag in, but it doesn't quite sit flush on the right side and it protrudes a bit, the clips or those things that you push on with the screwdriver didn't look bent, so is it possible this whole metal bracket is just loose, and that's why it didn't click in properly on one side?

Nice tutorial friend 👍

Huge help!

How to fix de giant airbag gap

this is so hard to do

thank you dude

How did you figure out the way to do something like that? I've got an '05 Lexus ES 330, with the 3rd brake lights out, and I can't figure out, how to do it myself. I've heard that its just 2 bulbs, that cost a few bucks to replace, the dealer wants $150 ! There's an ES a couple years newer that you have to remove the rear seats, and side panels, and has a $200 light panel, that needs to be replaced, not individual bulbs. Sorry for rambling on....... ✌

Very helpful! One question, is it safe to remove the airbag with the battery plugged?
