4. Remove the passenger's airbag 2P connector from the connector holder, then disconnect the connector.
5. Remove the mounting nuts from the airbag.
6. Cover the dashboard with a cloth, then carefully pry with a screwdriver to lift the airbag out of the dashboard.

The airbag lid has pawls on its side that attach it to the dashboard.
7. Place the new airbag into the dashboard, and finger-tighten the mounting nuts.
8. Torque the two upper mounting nuts to 9.5 N.m (7.2 lb-ft).
