I cant get at the upper two nuts on the air bag how do you remove the passenger side air bag in detail or pictures and does your replacement have to be the same number as your control module?

You must wait 10 minutes after disconnecting battery prior to removal or it can be set off. You disconnect wiring plug the very first thing. Then there are pivot bolts on far left and right side of instrument panel. Roll panel forward and remove air bag reverse for installation and tighten bolts to 89 inch pounds install new clips to hold bag in. However the system must be tested and you don't have the stuff to do that. Here are the instructions in the diagrams below. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
