How hard is it to change a 4th gen steering wheel?

The leather on my steering wheel is a little worn so I thought I'd get a new one.

I was going to get just the wheel with radio controls and transfer the airbag from mine to the new one.

Is this hard? Expensive?

Its not hard. You will need a steering wheel puller. Unhook the battery cables and let the car sit for 1/2 hr or so to let the airbag discharge. Remove the airbag from the steering wheel. Pull the wheel and unhook the wires. Put on the new wheel making sure to line it up the same as the one you removed.

Do you know if your radio will accept steering wheel controlls?

My factory radio will. I'm going to use the same steering wheel.
