Would love to help you out, I've removed airbags out of several F150's... but I simply cannot read your post.

If it's the driver's side steering wheel airbag, you simply unhook the battery, pop off the two access hole covers from the back of the steering wheel, and use an 8mm with an extension to unbolt the airbag from the steering wheel.

What he said....You are probably trying to disassemble something obviously not intended to be taken apart, hence the anti-tamper hardware. Just take the bolts out the back of the steering wheel.

Yes, click on Post reply button. When the window opens, go down towards the bottom Click on Manage Attachments. Make window full size. Click on Browse, find your pic, then click upload on the right corner. Repeat if you have more than one pic. If your pics are to large, you will have to make them smaller in size.

My girl recently had a fender bender and the air bags deployed. I purchased the two air bags and was wondering what else i need to buy to get the air bag light to turn off.

Thanks .
