July 11, 200520 yr According to the legacy manual you have to do the following: 1) point wheels forward 2) disconnect neg. battery terminal 3) wait at least one minute so the backup power supply can be depleted. that's pretty much it, after that it goes on about what to do if you remove a live airbag...from my training I know you can also hunt down the yellow connectors (they say airbag or SRS all over them) and unplug it. Can do the same if you can find the sensors (you dont need to unplug everything, the manual says you dont have to unplug anything but I was trained to disarm them and unplug the connector going into the steering column for safety) BTW, if you unplug stuff, do it after you do the first 3 steps.
