I need to change my steering wheel..... how?

Hi all. I have a standard 2 spoke wheel with airbag, horn etc. Now I just bought a 3 spoke standard wheel with airbag and horn etc...

How do I change them over?? Do I have to remove the airbags on each of them to put them on/off?? If so, how do I do this because I don't have a clue!!!

Thanks for any help!

First off disconnect the battery for safety, You need a torx kit, there are two small holes on the back of the wheel right in front of the tach, the torx goes in here, once they're unscrewed the airbag will come out, disconnect the plugs and now the wheel is ready to come off, all you need to do is did out your handy mini tool kit from the boot and use the wheel brace to take off the centre nut. NOTE: make sure the wheel is perfectly straight! the wheel will pull off and you can simply slide the new one on and bolt everything back together. Remeber that you will need to get the airbag sensor reset because warning light will be glaring at you!
