heya fittting a steering wheels is easy!! Tools required: flat head screwdriver, philips head screwdiver, Socket set, Wheel puller, Hex keys.] Make sure wheels r straight at the front. 1. remove the negative battery terminal (u don;t have to be is wise to do so. 2. remove horn pad from factory wheel and u will see a black wire on the pad , disconect that wire. 3. remove the plastic insert that the horn pad clips into. 4. the wheel nut should be revealed and may hav a locknut nut on it. 5. use wheel puller via scrweing the bolts into the wheel (every wheel puller is different) warning if u don't use a wheel puller and use a hammer u could damage ya steering wheel column. 6. when u goto use wheel puller make sure u undo the bolt on the wheel but not all the way and it will come flying off. 7. once the wheel is loose , take it off and remove the orange round bracket on the back of the wheel that is the horn contact and indictor cancelation. (there are two types of this bracket, the holes on the boss kits have to line up with the one on the factory steering wheel, if not your indictators won;t cancel and u turn the wheel) when i use my left indicator, i hav to turn it off as it does cancel and the bracket matches...i think it a common problem. 8. screw orange bracket into boss kit then place bracket on column making sure that it's straight and put the nut on, but not tight as yet. 9. bring black horn wirign thru. 10. Line up the wheel and place hex key bolts in a few of the holes until it gets lined up...once lined up...do up tight. depending on wheel make sure the earth plate that the horn pad goes into is screwed down with the wheel as this makes the horm work. 11. take for a quik drive to see if it lined up... 12. do up hex bolts tight and connect up the other horn wire to the horn pad. then insert horn pad into the wheel. 13. connect negative terminal back up...and test horn...if all works you are all done.... cheers...it's simple as to do...i did mine without no one else and it was the first time i hav done it...
