Its really easy, If you have an airbag you will want to remove the battery terminals and let your car sit for at least 15-20minutes before doing anything. Remove the plastic from behind the steering wheel so you will have more room and you will see bolts/screws to take off the air bag. Remove the airbag carefully and unplug it. Then you will see the nut that holds on the steering wheel, you may need to use a steering wheel punch you may not. It should take you no more than 45mins to do, of and on.
^^^ what he said, it's very easy, just make sure the battery is disconnected if you DO have an airbag, cause that would suck to have it go off while you change the wheel.... Should take you no more than 15 minutes to pull it off.
Yup figure 15minutes of labor, and 15-20 minutes of letting the car sit with the battery disconnected.
also, if you're having trouble getting the wheel itself off, take a punch and a mallet. There's a hole in the middle of the spindle. Put the punch there, and brace the wheel with your knees, pulling towards you. Smack the punch HARD with the mallet until it comes off.
