Yea you use a Torx T30. On the back side of the wheel you can feel two holes. Just back off the screws and pull the air bag out.

I don't know if I'll ever have to remove it, but it is good to know.

Dash cap, 2 screws under the panels on the sides. Cap slides off.

2 screws in the glovebox for the dash face, and a few screws on top of the dash piece under the dash cap. I think there's 2 bolts and 4 nuts on the airbag itself.
