I know nothing about electronics, so I'd be worried about screwing up the airbag and any other things.

They are obselete stock. Retail is over $1200 for both the proper FPV/sports wheel and also the Fairmont Ghia woodgrain version.Disconnect batteryUndo hornpad/airbag torx screws on rear of wheelUnplug airbag harness and audio control harness on horn pad/airbagUndo centre torx bolt on wheel about 3/4 way and then pull hard on steering wheel When steering wheel is loose undo torx bolt completely and slide wheel off and replace with new wheelYou will need to reprogram the time and the radio stations after reconnecting the battery Procedure takes 10-15minsLOL @ Dagabond!
