JD159 Homemade Airbag Disarm Tool
Easy Peasy.
Go to a hobby store, or some hardware stores and find the K&S Metals bin. Buy a 1/4" x 0.014 round brass tube. I think it comes in aluminum as well.
Pack one end with some plumbers epoxy putty.
Push the end with the putty into the D-Shaped pin and pull out. In about 10 minutes the epoxy will be hard enough to use. After the full 24 hour cure, it should last forever!
You can also slide in a 7/16 wood dowel in the tube after whittling down one end, but I'm not sure it would last as long.
I will try dripping some solder into the bottom edge of the tube as well!
The key here is the 1/4" tube with the 0.014 thick wall. You can probably go thinner, but I don't believe the thicker wall will fit. (copper and refrigeration tubing will be too thick)
The 6mm tube should work too, in case your K&S bin only carries metric.

Thanks all.
Knowing that it just unscrews 1" was the key to the knowledge that then allows the bar to slide over and allow the 13mm bolt to be removed.
I found though that a 4mm hobby wrench was able to turn it. Further examination showed that a 3.5mm slit cut in a bolt allowed it be turned easily.
Thanks again.
