Steering Wheel Change
How easy/hard is it to change the steering wheel with it having an airbag. I've seen a replacement one that comes with the airbag, is there anything else required?
Thanks in advance

This is the info I had From rob84 on removing the steering wheel from MY07 RB320;
Firstly disconnect the battery for your own safety.
Make sure wheel is in dead centre positioning
then look at the rear of the steering wheel on the sides as they taper to the steering wheel cowling you will see a hole on each side with torq's screw (T45 of hand I think ) hidden in that recess. undo both sides and lift out the horn/airbag assy.
now unclip the earth wire which is more horn related, then look at the connector on the air-bag assy, lift up the yellow clip and gently pull the plug out of the module. Then place to one side.
Then grab hold of the steering wheel and with an appropriate bar and socket hold the wheel and slacken the nut off a few turns then basically go either side of the steering wheel and give a quick bang with you hands to lift it off it's splines, then undo the nut until it comes off and gentely remove the steering wheel. N.B make sure you take note of the clock spring position when you remove the steering wheel.
Reassemble in reverse order when you get your wheel back.
Hope this helps,
Iggy
