TerryHowe Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Does anyone know how to remove the air bag from the steering wheel. This is on a '99 Forester I'm parting out. I loosened the two screws and it seems kind of loose, but it isn't coming out. Any help would be appreciated... If someone knows how to legal ship airbags, I'd love to hear that as well.

gbhrps Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 BE CAREFUL! Disconnect the battery and wait at least one half hour before you mess with an airbag. Disconnecting the battery kills the juice to the bags, but there are capacitors that store enough electrical charge to fire the bags for at least 15 minutes after the juice is cut. This allows the bags to fire in an accident where the battery source has been cut on initial impact. As far as removing the bags after this, maybe someone else has the answer, but safety first! If you're too close to one of these things when it goes off it'll kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
