Product Information
Full details
The AB Tools 12pc Air Bag Removal Tool Set is a professional-grade kit designed for mechanics and automotive enthusiasts who need to safely remove steering wheel airbags across a wide range of modern vehicle makes including Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen. Its primary benefit is the specialized angle blade design, which often permits airbag removal without needing to disassemble the steering column cowling, saving significant time during maintenance. A key caveat is that this kit requires a 1/4 inch drive torque wrench—which is not included—for the proper refitting of airbags, and users must be highly cautious as they are handling critical safety systems.

Can I use this on any vehicle?
This kit is designed for most modern vehicles from brands like Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Ford, Vauxhall/Opel, BMW, and Mercedes. Consult your vehicle manual for specific tool requirements.
Is it safe to remove an airbag with these tools?
These tools are designed to facilitate the removal process, but since airbags are safety systems, extreme caution is necessary. Always follow the manufacturer's safety protocols.
What is the length of the bit sockets?
The included bit sockets are 87mm in length.
Are the bits made for tamperproof screws?
The set includes T25H and T30H tamperproof Torx bits specifically for security-style fasteners.
Troubleshooting
Bit does not reach the release clip.
Verify that you are using the correct bit for your vehicle model and check if the steering wheel needs to be rotated to align the access port with the clip.
Fastener feels loose after refitting.
Ensure you are using a torque wrench to tighten to the manufacturer's specified torque settings; never over-tighten by hand.
Difficulty inserting bit into the fastener.
Ensure the access port is clear of obstructions and the bit is correctly aligned with the Torx or Hex head; do not force the tool.
