try google for that, but be very aware of the safety precautions for the air bag. It can hurt you.

I don't the exact procedure on the RX, but it should be something similar to these.

It shouldn't be too difficult to do?

Important - Remove the battery negative terminal and wait at least 90 seconds before doing work on the steering wheel.

i have replaced many airbags, and all service manuals mention using a grounding strap to prevent static electricity setting the airbag off.

having said that, i have never used a grounding strap. Your choice.

but yes, do the above, remove negative, and wait. i would suggest longer, perhaps 5 minutes.
