(You should say what kind of car you have, your profile shows a 89 300CE)
On the back of the steering wheel there is a hole on each side (you can feel with your fingers). In the bottom of those holes are the heads of screws which release the airbag, I believe they are Torx T30, you'd need a real long Torx bit to reach the screw heads(about 2" long). If you have adjustable steering you should bring the wheel all the way out towards the driver to get better access to the holes. Once the screws are released they will stay in the steering wheel, which makes it easier to reinstall the airbag. Once the screws are released and the airbag is off, there is one electrical connector to completely remove the airbag. DON'T turn the key to ON after you remove the connector or you'll set a SRS light (fault because it dosn't "see" the airbag connection). Very very slim chance of anything happening in regards to the airbag exploding, I wouldn't worry about that at all. If you are SUPER nervous, then just disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on it (extend the steering wheel adjustment out first).
