yes you do. i did it a couple of years back. you will encounter star'like patterned bolts. You need a safety bit-torx tool or something like that. it took me a while to find one. autozone, kragen, pep boys nad even napa didnt carry the tool set i had to go to a mom and pop's specialized tool shop.

Just make sure you remember that removing an airbag from a vehicle that originaly had one is a pretty big deal(leagaly speaking), iirc its actualy a felony in some places.

Most likely no one will notice, but man it would suck to get a felony just so you can have a tyte racing wheel.....

It's illegal for a dealer to sell a car with modified safety equipment, but so far I've been unable to find anything preventing the owner of a vehicle from modifying their own in terms of facebombs. More and more places are requiring seatbelt use, but I've not been able to find airbag requirements.MOMO does not list hub adapters for cars with mines in the dash.

make sure to disarm the airbags first, 15 mins disconnected battery before touching it.
