Boy was thing a trick to install,but i needed a alternative to this big ugly HEAVY stock wheel!!
! removed the square plastic covers on either side of wheel(by cruise control)
2 unscrewed air bag retaining screws(needs a torx head) and removed air bag and dis-connected yellow air bag connector ALL WITH BATTERY UN HOOKED
3 loosened st. wheel nut(left it on about 3 threads to save my jaw) and basically got it off by acting like a road rage driver
4 installed the adaptor from Grant
5 attatched the horn ground to the colum using an existing hole,and cut a piece of metal coat hanger to "ride" on the back of the adaptor ground and attached it to the colum.
6 sound confusing? DAM STRAIGHT!!(contact me for any questions)
and finally attatched wheel
7 drive like crazy have fun

Looks very nice supraman.
Yours, too, Mazzer.

and lol @ the writeup. i did the "road rage" part myself, without the puller. funny thing is, i've removed two steering wheels and they've both come off with a similar method. pull for a while, get mad and punch it, usually around the 2 o'clock spot on the wheel, since i'm right handed, and it pops right off.
