Airbags are safe while they are properly mounted in the car, but when removed, they can be potentially quite hazardous. Stringent safety precautions should be taken when working with them. Wear safety glasses, and use some means of grounding yourself to the car chassis while working on it to prevent any static charge from building up.
Disconnect the battery! First and foremost, this MUST be done to prevent any accidental actuation of the bag! Remove the negative cable, and make sure it can't accidentally work its way back into contact with the battery post.
On the back side (front side?) of the steering wheel spokes you'll see two holes, one on each side. Inside these holes are screws. Remove them, and the horn button and airbag assembly will come off. Disconnect the wires.
After you remove the air bag assembly, you should short the wires together with a paper clip or similar, to avoid any possibility of static electricity causing it to discharge. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to "check out" the airbag by using a meter on the wires!
Put the airbag in a suitable cardboard box to protect it after you have it off. Keep it in a safe, dry location until you're ready to reinstall it.
