Papa, thanks that sounds fairly easy. As far as specialty bit, it just takes a T35 to get the airbag off, and I used a three leg gear puller to get the one off from the JY.

Does the part on the site I linked to about securing the clockspring before pulling the steering not apply to Aleros? (That is the only part I am worried about.)
