Clock spring replacement/Air bag removal

I had my truck stolen last week and they trashed the horn/airbag harness to the clock spring. I started to pull the bag, but don't seem to have a socket that fits the 2 small screws in the sides of the wheel. Special tool? Anyone have a clew? Also, any tricks to replacing the clock spring.

Thanks,

Kevin

If i remember correctly i think i used a 8mm 1/4 inch drive socket. You will need a claw puller to remove the steering wheel after you remove the air bag and nut the holds he steering wheel in. Be very carefull when removing the wire that has the blue plastic clip to goes to the ignition, that is the key dinger wire, and it doesn't pop out but actually slides out of the notches. Hope this helped.
