I think the general advice is to disconnect the battery first and leave for I think at least 20 minutes before removing air bag.

That is the advice, although I have disconnected several with the battery connected without issue.

As Andy says you can remove it without the battery disconnected I’ve done it hundreds of times in the yard but if you want to be on the extra safe side you could pop the SRS fuse
