Hi To all,
how should I remove the instrument panel on a MK2 Xantia? Does the steering wheel have to come out? Howabout the air bag?
All sugestions are truley appreciated!

The steering wheel has a nut in the usual way.
Put steering wheel at 90 degree left angle.
Disconnect battery and wait for about 10 minutes to discharge airbag back-up battery.
Loosen 4 bolts holding airbag to steering wheel from behind.
That's why the steering wheel has to be at 90 degree angle.
Undo rotating electric connector..see first...very simple.
Loosen steering wheel nut a few turns.
Twist wheel left-to-right to loosen from splines.
Remove nut and wheel.
<b>Do not overtighten at reassembly.</b>
When the nut is fully down, it's enough, it won't escape.
