The airbag is easy to replace. All you need is a 6-sided "star" tool attached to a ratchet (for more force because it is very tight). I tried using a screw driver type but it was way too hard.
There are 2 screws that hold the airbag in place; one on each side. There's one by the cruise control lever on the right side, and on the left there is a plastic cover you need to remove which will reveal another screw.
So, after getting the airbag, just place it on the wheel and screw it on from both sides.
No, you don't need to replace the computer.

just as a sidenote id like to add that its probabley a good idea to unhook the battery and let it sit for 10 mins or so so that u dont inadvertedly set off the bag while ur working on it.
