Theres a couple of torx screws on the back of the wheel. You need it on an angle so you can feel the holes.

Take the battery leads off, and then leave for 1/2 an hour. Then undo screws. Take air bag off and disconnect.

I've read a lot of people say don't bother waiting, and some say do.

Personally, I wouldn't want a whack in the face from an airbag. Better safe than sorry.
