Steering Wheel Airbag Removal

I know this subject has been covered many times on here, but I now need help from you guys. Ok, 96' GMC Yukon, how many screws do I need to take out so I am able to remove the steering wheel airbag?? Is there a connecting wire I need to disconnect before removing it?? If so, where is it?? If not, should I remove the fuse and disconnect the battery?? (Which I was going to do anyway). If some of you can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. I know that some of you are GMC/Chevrolet Technicians, your help in this matter would be VERY GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.
