have read the faq links about steering wheel removal,but cannot find any airbag retaining screws on the back of the steering wheel??!?
Also it's look like almost impossibel ro remove the steeringwheel colum cover ,there are only two screws on the lower part of that cover.nothing on the upper part.
Can anybody help me how to remove the steeringwheel airbag from a 2006 x-type.
thanks any help would be appreciated

 

thanks jagdocs.that was of great help.yes there are on the back of the steeringwheel three holes,in those holes you have to release a white clip.that took me quiet some time finding out how to release them.but we managed to released them a have changed the steering wheel
thanks for thei nfo

 

Why did you change the steering wheel? Any pics?

 

there was a full leather black steering wheel in the car,which I replaced for one with wood on it.
bought it on ebay

 

Nice. Didn't mean to pry, just curious.

 

About to do the same thing myself.
So, what is the trick with the clips?
How did you release them?

Thanks!

 

it was quiet a pain to release the clips.if you look on the "new"steeringwheel you are going to install ,you will see the three small "L"shaped clips..Over those a white wire spring from the airbag is attached.
with a flat screwdriver try to move the white wire in the ouside directions of the steeringwheel,while pulling the airbag .the airbag while come out a little.do that with all three and the airbag comes off

 

Thanks!
That's a big help!
