Default Steering Wheel Swap

Just installed the blue stitched flat bottom steering wheel along with the ISF titanium shift paddles along with swapping out the cruise control switch, radio volume and phone switch and adding the Sewell purchased counter weight for steering wheel vibration. This included the air bag swap from the old steering wheel to the new one with out disconnecting the battery or turning the ignition on (I DO NOT recommend this if you don't know what your doing). I used a steering wheel puller to remove the old steering wheel and made sure the wheels were straight before removing the old steering wheel. After the air bag screws are removed the rest of the removal is pretty simple, the air bag has 3 wires and a small flat screwdriver is needed to release the the 2 wire clips, third wire is a black ground wire, then its just swapping the other parts along with their wiring harnesses (these wires are plugged into the clock spring). (2 #10 torx screws behind 2 square plastic covers on opposite sides of the steering wheel were removed using the interior plastic tool and pried away. About the only tool besides the steering wheel puller used was a Phillips screw driver) Total swap time was about 35 mins.
