Just have a 10mm socket bit and a T50 Torx screw for the centre screw cause its a b**ch trying to undo it with an allen key.
Disconnect negative terminal before you start and handle airbag gentley. Also, enjoy!!!!

Be very careful when taking out and handling the airbag. Expensive to repack if it goes off.

when you undo the torx screw, don't pull it right off, as you'll need to lever off the old wheel - pull as hard as ya can, as it'll usually take some force. by leaving the torx screw in, you won't end up with the wheel embedded in your face when it eventually works its way loose!

Done it! takes some force to get the wheel off, had to make a puller to get my old one off.
I got a new Black Leather EF XR type steering wheel - E-bay $100 i did take some pics of all the stages of change over though. thanks for all the help and advice.
