DIY Steering wheel

My Gemballa steering wheel is in and I'm wondering if pulling a steering wheel is hard or is it a DIY type of evolution. I would think it would be relatively simple, but the last thing I want to do is have the airbag go off in my face sitting in my garage.

Any help would be appreciated.

Step1: DISCONECT THE BATTERY!!!!! This will prevent a facefull of airbag
Step 2: Remove the airbag by unscrewing 2 torx on the backside of the steering wheel
Step 3: Remove a large bolt in the middle (Probably going to require an impact wrench)
Step 4: Remove the wheel (disconnect the Tiptronic Wire)
Step 5: Install the Gemballa Hub
Step 6: Remove the Gemballa Airbag from the wheel (2 bolts in rear I believe)
Step 7: Install the Gemballa wheel (Connect the Tiptronic Wire)
Step 8: Reinstall the airbag
Step 9: Reconnect the battery
Step 10: Drive to dealer or shop to turn airbag light off
That should just about do it, if you have any problems feel free to give me a call!!

PS-Post some pics when its done!!
