Installing a harness bar tomorrow that requires removal of the B-pillar. I don't believe I'm removing the part where the airbag actually is, but I rather play it safe.

What's the proper way to disconnect the battery? Remove the negative terminal then let it sit for 10 minutes? Or should I step on the brake a couple of times to remove excess charge as I've read?

Also, if disconnected long enough, will it reset my ECU and in doing so, require me to drive under RPMs or a certain way for awhile?
