Hi,
I have searched the the threads on the forum relating to removing the airbag from a Bravo 2, but I'm struggling to do it with my daughters car.
First off, it appears that 2 different types can be fitted and the retaining mechanisms are different. My car has the 2 dimples on the back of the wheel and I have drilled/pushed through these but all I can feel is what i presume is the plastic surround of the airbag case. I cant detect any clips to push no matter what angle I put the torx driver I'm using. I removed the trim to try to access the clips from the rear of the wheel but it's sealed, so no access. I'm presuming that I don't have to drill through the airbag case to get to the clips?
Perhaps its the 'other' type of bag that's fitted but I haven't been able to find any info on how to remove that type. The car is a may 2009 build BTW.
Any advice is most appreciated.
 
I've recently removed my steering wheel on my 2009 Bravo.

The Bravo has a different airbag attachment compared to the GP.
Watch this video a few times, it shows exactly the mounts and the procedure:


Even knowing how, it's still difficult to remove it the first few times.

Well, Success. Not the easiest to remove it, but managed. :)
Thanks once again for pointing me to the video.
It's not absolutely obvious how it fits, but for anyone needing to put it back, it pushes back into place - two hands on the airbag and a firm push.
Cheers.
