What are the exact tools you need to do this job? Got any pics of the airbag removal/install process? How long did it take all up?

This post I linked to has a YouTube video showing how to remove the airbag.

You need
- flat head screwdriver to release the springs holding the airbag & release some electrical clips
- socket wrench with a 6"-9" extension - I think it's a 16mm socket but not 100% sure
- Torx #15 or #20 bit (can't remember) to remove the 2 screws from the back holding the trim piece
- plus the socket you need to disconnect the battery
I think it took me an hour max. Most difficult was getting the airbag out. Mine had some elastic around it and it did not pop out as on the video. I really had to tug it out and it took a while before I was sure I had the clips released properly.
