Passenger Airbag replacement

Featured Replies

Anyone out there ever done this?

This is from a 96-99 legacy outback.

I am wondering if I will be able to r&r this by just taking out all the parts under the glove box or will I need to take out the entire dash?

 

Thanks

Anyone know about this now - since the OP?

 

I'm parting one out. Thought I'd grab (and probably try and sell) the pass side airbag. Don't care about the dash. Already removed glove box and blower fan and possible the TCU? Whatever is by the doorpost beside the glove box with a large connector. Never needed to track down a TCU on a Subaru.

the air bags are really easy to remove. three torx bits and a connector. you will most likely hose the connector though, they are REALLY annoying to remove. i recommend the first one just cutting the body side connector off so you can learn how to work it off the car. they're really bizarre.

 

let me just say how stupid those connectors are. "let's make them so difficult to remove, that when put in a tight space with no access you damage the connector trying to remove it?!?!??" stupid dorks.
