Okay. I just got a 98-99 Steering Wheel. I'm trying to take off the old one. I pretty much moved everything out of the way I could. all the plastic covers and any screw I could. Do I have to remove the airbag/cover of the old steering wheel to take it off? I feel two screw holes which I think is what's holding the airbag piece to the wheel. Do I remove these? Also, on the left side of the wheel theres 2 screws. they look like star screws... and on the other side theres one. do i have to take these off. i already broke a hex key trying to take these off. im very frustrated. someone please help me. thanks.

Yes, those have to come off...you need a T30 Torx bit to remove them. Then the harness unplugs and you have a 19mm bolt...remove that bolt. Then use a steering wheel puller to break the wheel free and it comes right off.

T30 Torx and 19mm bolt. Perfect. Thanks Coom.
No problem. Don't forget the steering wheel puller either...the wheel is on there really tight. I just bought a puller for $8 at my local Schucks but Autozone probably rents them for free.

go grab yourself a chiltons for future reference, well worth it.
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
chiltons? i dont know what that is. i didnt end up needing a puller. at advance auto parts it was 14 dollars and i took the t30 torx star thing and everything went smoothly. I yanked the wheel out. it hit me in the face, but thats fine. no bruise. thanks for the help guys. oh wait, how do you align the wheel? thanks.
