*This is my first DIY, so be gentle with me

Tools
- 10mm Socket & Ratchet
- Philips Screw Driver

Lets Begin

Step 1: Unplug Battery


*Remember to wait at least 5minutes before going ahead

Step 2: Remove Glove box
- i didn't post any pics of this cuz its easy to do, there are 2 screws under the glove box that u just unscrew and the glove box will drop

This is what it should look like so far:


Step 3: Locate & Unplug the "BOOM!" Wire:
Im not sure if this is true for all EK's, but it was for mine but the "BOOM!" wire or the wire that makes the airbag explode had this yellow tube stuff on it, but if u cant find it, it should be 2 red wires connected to a yellow connector. I found mine behind my radio.




Step 4: Start unscrewing the airbag from chassis
*I used a 10mm socket and ratchet



Step 5: Push that fu ker out!
Fairly easy to do, just push the bottom of the airbag up and get a flat head screw driver and put it under the OEM airbag cover and push it up with that.


* ITS OUT *



NOW YOUR DONE
I didn't have my airbag tray cover yet, so i just took off the OEM airbag cover and push it back in its hole!

Hope this helped u guys out

this took me about 30-40min to do

sorry, but personally I would leave it in. They really do work. if you ever get into a collision they could potentionally save your life.

the passenger side, kept my g/f from kissing the dash board.

if you want to install an aftermarket steering wheel .. once the driver side srs is disabled .. the passenger airbag will not activate whether or not it is hooked up or not .. so no point to have a passenger side airbag if you don't have one for the driver side ..

Did you know that most countries around the world have fewer airbags than the US? You know what they do instead? They wear seatbelts. There are more airbag injuries here than there are car accident fatalities around the rest of the globe

lol i was tired of the SRS light already, so i tried something... well it didnt work:






least to say, the light is still on

but you see where my thought process was

taney

i am sorry but your statistic sucks, INJURIES being the key word, these people are not DEAD! you can't compare injuries to deaths besides an airbag is good if you wear your seatbelts, it's by no means an alternative. also how can this even be relevant, what about all the countries where cars aren't the major form of transportation bicycle, motor bike, tram, feet. i am sorry and i don't mean to flame, i just would hate to have someone from H-T go out and quote this statistic thinking it was a good one.

Other than that very nice thread on removing airbag

taney

i'm not saying airbags are good nor bad for the street ..

but for track use .. a full roll cage .. bucket seats .. harness .. a helmet and a helms safety device if you really want to be safe .. is the best ..

for street, you can argue both sides .. but for track . .we all know what's better ..

Take out the bulb on the cluster. Just removed mine 2 days ago and damn does it feel good to not have any unecessary lights on the cluster. It's hidden in a good spot but, tops 20mins to do. Nice right up by the way

we were both wearing our seatbelts, but for some reason the locking mechanism that keeps the belt from moving didn't catch on her side. so she went flying forward. Mine did its job and I didn't move.

I hope you have some sort of cage that the harness is attached to. you'd be taking a serios risk by not mounting a 4 or 5 point harness correctly.

If you have no use for that airbag BLOW THAT **** UP! Run some wire about 100 from it and connect it to a car battery. Fun as hell

30-40 min to remove 1 airbag... that's slow

Some B**ch removed both of my dads airbags in a fractions of a second.



If you drive that car on the street, keep the airbags.
It’s an nice and informative write-up , but sacrificing safety over a dinky tray

you dad has rainbow airbags
