I am assuming just the regular old stuff (breaker bar, metric socket set, extension set, wobble extensions, never hurts to have a hammer around) plus a good floor jack and jack stands.

You should pull the negative battery cable when you do any work with anything electrical like that.

WOW thank you that is exactly what I was looking for... Do you happen to know the part number for the pin that goes in the bottom of the air bag. I am having difficulties locating this part.

Pin ????

What Pin ?? the bag has the "lock tab" built into it, its simply a twist and turn to remove the whole bag, no pins needed.
