Very carefully.;-)
Unless you like handling explosive devices, it%26#039;s best to leave to a professional.
But basically disconnect the battery for a few minutes, pull the 2 bolts for the bag, pull the wire connectors to the bag, then it%26#039;s a bolt that holds it in and you will need a puller (you can rent those from some of the discount part chains) to pull the steering wheel from the shaft as it%26#039;s on there... best to get a book , or better a professional as cutting the air bag wires can possibly produce a big and expensive boom|||Leave it to a pro! The airbag contains an explosive charge that will KILL you if it detonates.
A test on TV a few years ago launched a 55 gallon drum weighing nearly 100 lbs almost 50 feet in the air when an airbag equipped steering wheel was initiated under it.
Airbag equipped steering wheels are a popular target for thieves due to their high replacement cost. When the police raid a chop-shop, the bring the bomb squad with them to handle the airbags. %26#039;Nuff said!|||Dont you mean change the ford contour behind the steering wheel. the steering wheel is about the only thing on a ford contour that shouldnt have to be changed
