Does anyone know how to take that damn thing off?
Looks like you have to use some tool that will compress the three prongs.
If that is the case were can I get a tool like that or what can I use instead?
 
Which airbag?

The one in the steering wheel comes off very easy. It is essentual to disconnect the battery and that it be disconnected long enough for the air bag system battery to discharge. Five minutes might be enough, but I leave it off for 1/2 hour. IIRC the air bag cover is held with a torx 30. A long stem torx works best. There are two fastners. You may need to remove the steering column cover for access.
