I tried searching with no luck but may have not been using the right words.
Anyway I bought a 98 GTP for cheap. Previous owner hit a deer and damaged the passenger fender and door and also set off the air bags. I will be getting a new fender and replacement door and already have the replacements air bags.
I would like to get the driver side airbag in place. Not to worried about the passenger side since no one rides in the car anyway as its my DD to work. Now I tried getting the air bag off the steering wheel with no luck. I see its held on with 4 metal studs or so it appears by looking at the replacement bag. So essentially I'm stuck here. How do I get the old one off and the new one on?
Also I just unhooked the battery and waited an hour before messing with the car, is their anything else I need to do to safely remove and replace the bag? And do I need to check any sensors in the fenders to make sure they dont redeploy the bag until I get the fender replaced? I'll be waiting until spring for the body repairs since winter seems like a popular season for body damage.
