I decided to start taking pictures only after having the clockspring fully disassembled, as in picture 2, so now I have to play them backwards I do not go into details on removing the airbag or the steering wheel, as there is plenty of material describing these steps. We start with the steering wheel off the car and the airbag disconnected and removed, as shown in picture 1. If you look at pic1, you will see three Phillips head screws and a soldered back and isolated cut in the horn wire, going down to the horn slip ring on the other side.

This will come in handy later, when you will want to separate the slip ring carrier from the assembly.
