Hi All, I have an 02 that I am possibly looking into switching the steering wheel out on. I've honestly never done one and just wanted to know how much of a poroject is it to do. Thank you

Straight forward, except for the airbag. Be sure to disable air bag by disconnecting battery for about 15 minutes. Leave battery disconnected while repairs are being made. Be careful unplugging the wiring inside wheel, they are flimsy and easily broken. There are 2 screws that hold airbag module in place. Just look at what is in front of you and it should not be a problem. Good luck.

what way2old said also keep anything that can fly out of the way just in case and when you get it removed place it face up so if it goes off it doesn't fly
