Sewells website has a pretty detailed video on how to do it, looks fairly easy.

My little son talked his mom into getting one from eBay. But its like a JDM style steering wheel. It has no airbag or anything like that.

I swaped to a flat bottom steering wheel in my suby...the change in the feel is amazing. It is probably all placebo, but aside from it looking better, it felt way more sporty. I plan on installing my flat bottom wheel as soon as i get it this weekend.

I did it a weekend ago - the Sewell video was very helpful but had to watch it a few times to figure out all the wires. May be a user issue on my end tho . Take pictures as you go and you should be fine, I found it handy when rewiring.
