So for anyone who wants to tackle this job. You can wiggle the air bag out without removing the dash. You have to take the a b and c pillars out.
And disassemble the under dash area.
You will need to have a short torx t30 driver for the attachment points of the bag itself. Stubby 10mm ratcheting wrench or at least a regular stubby 10 for the body of the portion bolted to the dash frame. They face the side of the dash panel in the door jamb.
and plenty of patience.
Pull it all out the bottom of the dash, feeding the bag part though the opening at the bottom of the a pillar.
