isn't there some kind of fuse for the airbag or something?....call up a body shop and ask how you disable it or something.

I don't wanna make a new thread for this, so how do you remove the a-pillars also. What about the steering column cover behind the steering wheel?

Do yourself a favor and disconnect your battery and wait 5 minutes before you mess with that thing. Even if it didn't ge when you took it out, when youput it back it will have juice all of the sudden...

You need to let the car sit with the batt disconnected for a couple minutes for safety. Other than that, yeah, just about 4 bolts from the back and 1 connector.

Safety first mang.
