I bought my 6g and it had already been in a crash, so the steering wheel is not in good shape. I'd like to replace the airbag in it, but I'm concerned that might not be legal to do myself. If it is OK, is it a fairly straightforward procedure?

basically remove your battery and air bag srs fuse and wait a bit to discharge. make sure your air bag replacement is correct, if not tell us which one you have. use torx tool to remove side screws, pull the old airbag forward, put in new one, plug in harness, screw back. test horn, cruise control, etc. check for air bag error code. if you have a 3 spoke wheel, there are two different compatible bags with different harness connections, that you would need to find out and let us know.
if your wheel is stuck on there, get a steering wheel puller. fastest you can do this is under 30 minutes for sure. -------------------- 94 Celica GT
