Yeah I know how to take em out since mine blew.

You have to take off your WHOLE dashboard, this includes , guages, heating , cd player glove box shifter console steering wheel all the extra wiring. It doesnt take too long as long as your comfortable with it. and you need a security torque bit size 50 to take the bags off. Possibly a pulley to take the steering wheel off depending how wedged on it is. Enjoy.. :) If my digital camera wasnt broken i'd show you pics since mine is totally apart. Waiting and hopeing to find a dashboard soon :( But all in all its not worth removing the bags they are there for safety and the bag only wieghs like 10 lbs. More hassle then its worth

Free 25 lbs. worth of airbags/wheel = awesome budget weight reduction.

Make sure you have adequate safety equipment to support the removal of the bags.

I will have a harness bar, Sparco seat, and a 4-pt. harness.
