When finished switch ignition on and reconnect battery - that way you're nowhere near a bag if you've ballsed something up and one goes pop!

Never store a removed airbag face down either - in theory should be in an explosives cabinet but just putting it face up and away from anything else is good enough for DIY
hmmm.....I was lucky then !!! Thank you Adrian for the info, you (in this case me) learn every day..
