The easiest way is to rent an inner axle shaft removal tool. You should be able to from a local parts supplier.

Hi fred,

I worked at a salvage yard for a while. During that time I pulled hundreds of airbags. I thought I'd share a few things.

I've provided this as a supplement to erietracks solution, not to replace it. It provides important additional information you need to be aware of when working on or around SIR (Supplemental Individual Restraint) airbag systems. It lists the potential dangers of doing so and the appropriate precautions against accidental premature deployment. Any work done on the steering column should include this.

Precautions for working with and handling airbags: Take these Seriously!!!

• Alway wear safety glasses.
• Control the environment - no kids, pets, people horsing around.
  
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal. After you are done, make sure no one is inside the vehicle when you reconnect the battery. If your vehicle has an anti-theft system, you'll need to get your activation codes to reset your sound system.
• Do not use solvents to clean your airbags. They may ignite if accidentally deployed. Use only a damp cloth.
  
• Airbags are sensitive to heat in excess of 190 degrees F. Store them accordingly.
  
• Airbags are sensitive to impact - handle them carefully
• Airbags are sensitive to static electricity - ground yourself, Spray the seat and rug with fabric softener (anti-static - ever heard the term 'static cling')
• Wires for the SIR are bright yellow, the connectors are labeled.
• In addition to forward mounted sensors, there are also three sensors in the dash.
  
• Do not use voltage testers or VOM's on SIR wiring.
• Do not haphazardly disconnect airbag components
  
• Be safe
• Be aware
  

• Turn the wheel to the straight ahead position
• Lock the ignition and remove the key
• Disconnect the negative battery cable. Be advised, this alone will not render the system safe. The diagnostic module (DERM) can retain a charge
• Remove the airbag fuse (refer to fuse block cover for location)
• At the bottom of the steering column locate the Airbag connector. (Yellow wire, yellow conduit)
• You may need to remove the sound insulator panel beneath the instruments to access it
• Disconnect the plug

Don't remove the lock cylinder! just break out the small plastic insert inside the upper panel where it slides over the lock cylinder and once its together you will be happy with the ease of installation and the ignition where the key goes in covers up the whole where that little bit of plastic once was
