Upon removal of the two side covers, you'll see these spring pins on each side, push them slightly with a screwdriver and you'll notice the horn pad/airbag assembly pop away from the steering wheel, it is held in three positions.

This is after freeing the horn pad from the left side of the wheel.

The three white tapered deals with springs under them are how the assembly is held by the pins.

Carefully pry up the yellow locking tabs from the two airbag connectors.

This ground wire also has a small locking tab on it, press it down and the spade connector pulls off the airbag. Then set the airbag in a safe place. I took mine out of the car just in case :)

Mark the shaft to make sure the new wheel will be installed straight. Unplug the black and the white connector shown here above the center nut. The airbag wires will stay and slip through the hole on the upper center of the wheel.

After removing the center nut, either use a gear puller or just wiggle the wheel loose. Pull wheel out while guiding the airbag wires/connectors through the top hole.

So from here it's just a matter of transferring everything over to the new wheel. Route the the airbag wires/connector through the opening on the wheel and install the wheel following the mark you made to make sure it's straight. Torque the center nut to 37 ft lbs. grasp the wheel to keep from turning while tightening the nut. Do not rely on the steering lock on keeping it from turning.
