How to remove steering wheel with Air Bags

WARNING 
On vehicles with air bags, disable the SIR system. The vehicles wheels must be in the straight ahead position and the key must be in the LOCK position when removing or installing the steering column.

In the unlikely event of an accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with minimal chance of injury. In addition, when placing a live air bag on a bench or other surface. always face the bag and the trim cover up, away from the surface. This will reduce the chance of personal injury if it is accidentally deployed.
