I was searching around and couldnt find anything- Im trying to "slim" down for the track next year, already pulled the heater core, pass airbag, wiper motor/arms, etc..... But I want to keep the car as "stock/sleeper" as possible- a couple days ago, I was in the column tightening up my tilt- loose torx- and was looking at the airbag in the wheel itself. Has anyone taken it out and put the "shell" back in the wheel?? Any pics or suggestions/how to's would be much appreciated!!!!!!
Thanks in advance-
Jeremy

i dont think thats possible i think that the bag and the cover are all one piece. im sure you could make something up like pull the cover apart and make something work. make sure you post up pics also.

Its riveted together on the back, just worried bout the thing blowing up in my face when I start drilling the rivets out- Is there anyway that it can go off????

Touch power to the yellow wire.

I think there's an Airbag module thing somewhere in there.. something is telling me somewhere near the drivers side seat, or the console or something? I don't remember. Someone will chime in for you.

That was it, lol. If it makes you feel any safer, after you disconnect everything just work from outside the door and pull it apart, just in case.

you will be fine like /\ says just pull it apart from outside the door but once you get it out just be careful drilling it and **** like that

Ive got it out of the car on the bench. There hasnt been a battery in it since last spring since I started the swap on it- Actually this has been the ongoing neighborhood joke for the last few weeks...... no one knows if it'll go or not!!! I guess Ill give it a shot here in a minute, if you guys dont hear back from me tonight that means it went!!!! hahahahaha

lol. you could always try ratchet straping it down so if it does blow in theory it should help it from blowing up into your face or atleast slowing it down

you need to wait 30 minutes after the power is disconnected, reason being is becuase the airbag system has it's own remote power source. it decharges after about 30 minutes.

Ya, I know about the battery being hooked up. I just went out and was looking at is again.......... I dont know if Im just bein a big PUSS or what but Ive got a gut feeling that itll go off! hahahahahaha How the FAWK do you post up pics??? Maybe I definitely shouldnt be f@#%in w/an airbag if I cant figure out how to post a fricken pic!!!!! hahahahahahaa
