I don't think so but just want to make sure since I will be shippping it.
Honestly it is super easy. Infact I didnt even need any special tools other than the torx bit #25 I believe to remove the two screws. After doing it once, I could do it in less than 20 min. I upgraded to a 98 steering wheel.BOOST ALMIGHTY said:About how long did it take you guys to do this???
Really easy, just pull service covers use the torx pull the airbag off. and loosen the big nut, leave the nut on with only afew thread hanging, pull hard and wiggle at the sametime, and it will come off. The reason you leave the nut there is you don't pull too hard and knock yourself off when the wheel comes loose.cwtt said:Honestly it is super easy.

Most airbags have a capacitor in it so it is "live" for a short period of time after the battery dies. When you unplug the battery make sure its unplugged for atleast 30+ minutesTC2Supra said:Sorry to bring an old post back up but I will be doing this this weekend, once the airbag is out and unplugged it won't go off will it?
