    Steering wheel swap

    Does anyone know the procedure on swapping out the steering wheel. I just got a new Carbon Fiber wheel and would like to install it myself. Dealer wanted $300 in SF to do the job.

    Thanks

    Hmmm. $300 might be cheaper than the cost of replacing an accidentally released airbag?

    On second thoughts, it sounds a lot for a job which shouldn't take 2 hours (guessing).

    Maybe you should try another dealer first.

    fritz is right...HANDS OFF the steering wheel, this is a job for a pro. Don't say you haven't been warned.
    300 USD for just swapping the steering wheel? This guy must be crazy. Even if he does another alignment, this wouldn't cost 300 USD. Go to another dealer but definetely let a pro do the job.

    Thanks guys.
    Yes I agree a blown airbag in the garage is not a good think. I'll definitely get another quote from a pro before committing.
