Default How to remove/replace passenger side airbag

I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport 4L that was in an accident and both driver and passenger airbags deployed as designed, i cannot find any information or videos detailing how to remove the passenger airbag from the vehicle, any assistance would be appreciated.

You can access the screws from inside the glove box. Disconnect the battery before working on airbags.

Can the airbag be removed without other components in the dash being removed, i read some posts/comments when searching on Google that the entire dash had to be removed? Assuming from your comment NO... approximately how many screws need to be removed, i can see 2 coming in from each side with one coming up from the bottom on each side.
Many thanks

Assume i remove the two closet screws at the top and bottom of bracket, and the screw coming up from the bottom (bolt thread visible)
What kind of a bit do i need to remove these screws?
