go ahead and call the local ER, and tell them you decided to endanger a passenger's life...then get Jonny Cochran!

RE: How To Remove Passenger Airbag?
I just did mine like a month ago, just make sure the battery is disconnected for like 15 minutes. It's not that difficult, drop the glove box first though, makes it that much easier. Should be 4 screws for the glove box, then 2 screws for the airbag. Disconnect the harness, then push the airbag assembly out, there are a bunch of tabs so it will take some force. Don't pull on the dash trim, make sure you push from inside the dash so you don't damage the aluminum trim. It's easy.

Ford installed an automatic release for the passenger side air bag. The switch is mounted in the front bumper. If you hit the bumper hard enough into something solid, the air bag will pop out all by itself!

RE: How To Remove Passenger Airbag?
Thanks for the info but I just finished the swap and everything went smoothly, minus when I took out my airbag and it hit me in the head and cut my finger open, I didn't realize how much weight it had to it. Lesson well learned [:'(]
