Default Or just wait.

I usually let the car sit a few hours before any bag work.

Default Meh. Wasn't suggesting that you sit by the car and wait for the caps to discharge.

Just do the bag first thing in the morning after the car sits all night.

Default It has a pin on it that locks it in position when you pull the wheel...

if you don't push the pin and rotate it you will be fine. Just mark the angle the wheel was at before you pull it off ao you can get it back the same. As far as the airbag just discharge yourself (touch ground) before you touch the connector, and avoid touching the metal of the connector. This is good practice anyway as stuff on your hands can contaminate the metal, causing corrosion later.
