It is easy to do, this is the How to I used HERE.

You can disconnect the battery or remove the SRS fuse and begin after 30 minutes if you are nervous working around the airbag (but you should not be doing anything that will set it off - even accidentally)

A security torx bit is important, but not essential (can be done without, but it it tedious).
