MG MGF Technical - Fitting New Steering Wheel

I have purchased a new steering wheel and would like to fit it myself.

Can someone tell me the safe way of removing the air bag assembly, I believe disconnecting the battery for half an hour discharges the system,but I would like to have some correct advice please.

regards

Chris

Thanks Dieter :)

Dieter, I wish I had know about your site when I changed my wheel to a wooden one!

The only thing I would add to Diter's instructions is to drive the car before you refit the airbag. I found it impossible to align the steering when by eye and a drive showed you which direction to adjust.

Cheers

Once again Dieter's site comes to the rescue!
It is interesting about disconnecting battery and waiting for the airbag system to discharge. When I was having problems with my EPAS and regularly visiting Rover dealers they never once disconnected the battery before pulling off the steering wheel!
