Hey guys, I need to figure out how to remove the passenger airbag from an 01 CL-S

anybody could point me in the right direction?

 

disconnect the battery and let sit for 5 minutes, to let the system fully discharge
then pull the glovebox out (those two clips/stops that you see on the side when opened, if you like then also undo the hinges at the bottom to get it completely out of your way, only two phillups btw

then look up under the dash, and you should see the bottom of the airbag, disconnect the wiring, and you will probably see about 6 bolts holding it in (probably 10mms, 12mms, or even some 14mms, not entirelly sure lol) undo them and the bag should lift right out the top, and DO NOT FORCE out, if not coming more then likely there is another bolt holding it in

btw hi again LOL

 

Awsome, thanks alot, you're a lifesaver

I'll let you know how it goes

 

i think there are 3 nuts holding the airbag down. thye're all 10mm for sure. u'll need long extention to reach them.

and once u take those three nuts out and u can feel the airbag moving when u push it, that means thats all the nuts that were holding it. Then u'll have to use the socket and extension to push the airbag out from the bottom. The airbag cover is somewhat clipped (not exactly clipped) on to the dash. If u try to pull it from the top, u could damage/bend the cover and that will make it uneven when ur putting it back together. so push it from the bottom only

 

^^^^^^^^^^
this...


only three bolts

 

Thanks guys for the info, I'll give it a try
