My Father and I have replaced them before, I then drove the car for years with no issues. It's just like anything else, unhook the battery, correctly install the airbag, connect the battery again. You can also pay a licensed shop to do it if you're worried.

Usually the SRS ECM has to be reflashed after a deployment as well, otherwise you're going to be left with a stiff pillow instead of a SRS
