    The first question is why would you want to? It is against the law.

    There is a steering wheel swap howto over at MR2OC that covers this. You can do a search. I think it is in the interior section. Keep in mind though that those things are really dangerous. I have seen a demo of one being triggered outside of a car and it is a bomb.

    If you do get it out don't chuck it. Those things are worth good money.

    Hey man

    This is one job for a mechanic. Let them worry about that stuff. Airbags and tires are the only things I don't do at home.

    And you only need an airbag to pass OOP, other than that, no one is going to ticket you for not having airbags.

    I wonder how safe these old airbags even are?
