Do you have an airbag? If so this will make it for more difficult but not by much
BTW...My mom's bed was empty last night...

i just changed the steering wheel in my 89 rs. i took out a grant wheel, and put in a 90-92 airbag factory wheel. it's really easy. all you need is a wheel puller. i had an advantage due to my friend having one, however, i was told you can rent them from places, and i seen them in the J C whitney book for like $5. this tool is realy self explanitory once you seen it, and pops your wheel right off as you keep tightning it. hope this helps a little, and if you need more info, just ask. good luck.
