Question Is it easy to replaced a Steering Wheel or shifter with a Wood one?

Hey all

As you may have read I just bought a 98 LS but it did not come with the wood Steering wheel or shifter. I am planning on buying them.

My question is how difficult is it to replace them? Is there any chance that I could do more damage than good? Could I somehow blow the airbag?

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I did one quick search and could not find anything. Maybe I put in the wrong key words.

I did discover on the way home the shifterr just twist off. It cannt get any easier.
