This is a dangerous operation. You should first consult the Bentley manual for complete instructions and safety information. (i.e., Don't come running to me if somebody gets maimed or killed.)
- Disconnect ground strap on battery.
- Disconnect airbag disable connector located behind a small panel in the ceiling of the driver's footwell.
- Remove the plastic cover over the top of the steering column by removing two screws from the bottom.
- Disconnect the airbag connector on the right side of the now open bottom half of the plastic cover.
- Unscrew the two torx screws holding the airbag unit in place. There is one on either side which can be accessed through a little hole on the back of the steering wheel.
- Remove air bag unit, undo hinged metal clip covering the airbag wire connection and remove the connector.
- Place the airbag somewhere where it won't kill anyone if it decides to go off. Face up is preferable.
- Reinstall is the reverse of removal.
