its not hard to put on but you will need to get


a steering wheel puller - the bar shaped one not the Y shaped one

and an air bag simulator so you wont have air bag lights turned on because you will no longer have a driver side airbag

Dumb question maybe... but what is the proper technique in removing the steering wheel with the airbag so it doesn't go off? Unhook battery and thats it? Would removing fuse too work?

Thanks.

Its not even legal to remove a steering wheel with an airbag. Its against state law, or so I read. maybe its just that way in Illinois?

I just did this today. i pulled the negative off the battery, Turn the key to accesory and walked away for ten mins. came back pumped the brakes a few times then started to take the wheel off. i removed the horn wire and then while holding my breath and pointing the bag away from me removed the airbag wire. Hope that helps.
