Default Dash Removal / Airbag Removal

I am getting ready to remove my dash to begin the installation of my Wolfe cage. Any special tricks to pulling the dash and removing the airbags without them going off in my face?

Thanks,

Dave

I've done this. It really is a PITA. I just kinda winged it with no docs. Basically take out every screw you can find holding the dash in. I ended up cracking mine in the back trying to clear the steering wheel. It was ok in the end though b/c the crack was in the backside. I got a few pics on my site http://torqueaddicts.com

nope. That center piece down't come off. It's part of the dash. The airbag is in a metal case underneath there.

Dave you got mail.

considering that this is popular and i have dial up, it will take me hours to e-mail everyone that wants it. is there anyone that can host it so everyone can grab it when they want? Geocities will not let me do it for some reason. i also ask dave if he can just forward it to yall.
