You'll need to disconnect the battery for several (read 10) minutes before proceeding to be certain the airbag is deactivated - be sure to have your radio code in-hand. The airbag stays active for some time once the car is switched off to protect the passengers until they exit the vehicle. Also, you'll need a long T-30 torx bit.
The rest is straightforward, but be mindful of the airbag clockspring and don't disturb it's orientation.
Do not reconnect the battery until you are done.
Good Luck!
Cheers!
