How to replace airbags?

Does anyone know what exactly to do to replace both airbags?
I own `95 LSi with both airbags removed after deploying
Now i have both airbags and airbag control module from donor, but i am really scared to just install it by myself.

1. Firstly, i think, i must check airbag sensors - how to do it? Just measure the resistance on it?

2. What to do with control module - replace with donor`s or reset old module - how to?

3. How to replace airbags? I guess how to replace drivers airbag - its easy, but how to replace passengers? Is it possible to do just removing gloves box or i need to remove whole dash?

Thanks
Gleb.

Re: How to replace airbags?

It's simple. Remove the glove box. Then look up, and the airbag is bolted to the steering support beam with two bolts. The airbag is removed and installed through the top dash opening. You will need to jiggle it around to find just the right way to get it out.

Re: How to replace airbags?

Make sure that you have the battery disconnected for hours before you work on any airbag system.
(And disconnected while you work on it.)
