i have 0 clue where to start except i know there are 2 slots in the back of the steering wheel. i was probably going to start there and hope to figure it out...anything you can provide from step 1 would be much appreciated fellas.

this is more along the lines of what i have..

this wasn't a bad job to do...
2 torx t27 that hold the airbag in....behidn the wheel
once those are out the airbag just falls out...just unlpug the wires...
after that, everything should fit back...i should have tried my new wheel with the airbag in first...i didn't ge the airbag centered!!!! on my new wheel...argh...
just remove fuse 44 in the glovebox.....the battery was too much of a pain!!!
