Does anyone have any advice or tips/hints for removing it? Specifically safety wise. I'll probably go over the helm's manual but it sometimes wants me to use a tech scan tool for everything. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Rob I removed a battery cable and let mine set an hour or so too.

I also removed the fuses.

When removing the torx bit on the backside of the bag, just stay behind it.....

I doubt it's 'that' dangerous, but it doesn't hurt to be carefull, rather than having your head ripped off by an exploding bag.

What wheel are you going to use?

I went with a AutoZone Pilot wheel. The wheel was heavy but the adapter light. (same adapter as Grant). I never did get a Momo or Sparco wheel. I'm guessing weight wise, it was a wash. The Pilot wheel was heavy but adapter light, the Momo adapter was VERY heavy.
