Take the airbag off the wheel.depending on what car, it either has screws on the back of the wheel or quik release clips. Make sure to center the wheel because its attached to a clock spring,which must stay centered. Failure to do so could cause accidental airbag deployment or make it not deploy during an accident. Always take precaution when handling airbags,disconnect all power because the bag is electronically discharged.

How do you remove 1997 Seville steering wheel?
AIRBAG WARNING: Before you remove any steering wheel parts on an airbag equipped car it is important that you disconnect the negative battery cable to disable the airbag system. A loose airbag deploying directly in your face can cause serious injury, and could possibly kill you DEAD.Having said that, I'm not sure exactly the procedure on a Seville, but I'll give you a basic run down of how to take off most steering wheels.1)Disconnect negative battery cable2)Determine how airbag module is attached to steering wheel. The airbag module is in the front center of the steering wheel and is the part of the steering wheel you see. It likely has a vehicle emblem right on it. There may be plastic covers on the side or back of steering wheel that hide airbag retainer nuts. Some airbag modules are simply held in by clips and can be pulled out. Once you determine how the airbag is fastened remove it from the steering wheel. There will be an electrical connector to the airbag (usually yellow). Carefully disconnect electrical connector and set airbag aside.2)Disconnect horn wire, and any other electrical wires used inside the steering wheel. There should be connectors for all wires.3)NOTE:ENSURE STEERING WHEEL IS POINTED STRAIGHT AHEAD PRIOR TO REMOVAL. At this stage you should have access to the steering wheel nut. Remove the steering wheel nut.Some steering wheels will simply come off at this stage. However most wheels must be pressed off. Use a steering wheel puller to pull wheel. A puller set can be rented at most auto parts stores if you don't have one.4)CLOCKSPRING WARNING:Behind the steering wheel there is a component known as a clockspring. It houses the wires for the airbag and other steering wheel electronics. It allows the steering wheel to spin and maintain electrical connections. It is important that the clockspring or wheels are not turned while the steering wheel is out. If the clockspring is turned too many times over it will break causing steering wheel electronics not to work(and an expensive repair). It must remain centered at all times.
Airbag light stays on on your 2006 Kia Spectra?
Hi, the faulty part is called a clock spring and it is located inside the steering column. It is a device that allows the steering wheel to be turned without losing electrical contact with the airbag sensor in the steering wheel. Do not try to replace it yourself, take it to the garage, but do have it replaced as your airbag is likely non-functional. Ray

The airbag is located inside the black cover in the center of the steering wheel. Same piece you hit to sound the horn and it sperates from the steering wheel. Once that piece is off, Im not sure how to take the airbag out, as I only replaced my steering wheel. But, to get this piece off, there are two bolts on the backside of the steering wheel. Pop the hole covers off with a flathead screwdriver and remove bolts. Disconnect the wiring harnessess and the center piece is out.
