I didn't, no, but honestly following the steps in the FSM made it extremely simple. If there was enough interest in a DIY I could do one, but really for this part the FSM is all you'd ever need.
Step 1: You have to start with the 'SR' section pages 14-16. That guides you through the steering wheel airbag removal.
Step 2: Next you use the 'ST' section, page 14. That guides you through removing the steering wheel.
Step 3: You use section 'IP' page 17. This gets the lower steering column cover removed.
Step 4: Section 'MWI', pages 103-104. This walks you through removing the instrument cluster from the car, up to removing that upper cover from the instrument cluster itself.
All the tools that are needed are:
- Small flat plastic panel removal tool
- Small slot screwdriver
- No1 and No2 Phillips screw drivers
- T30 Security (tamper-resistant) Torx bit (removing the airbag screws)
- Impact gun (not required but makes getting the torx screws out way easier without stripping)
- 19MM Socket for removing the steering wheel nut, can use the impact on that too
- 10mm socket with extension for removing the lower column cover bolts
- 10mm wrench for disconnecting the battery
- Worklight or flashlight helps
Total Time: 1 hour, max, and that is really taking your time to read the steps in the FSM and meticulously place every screw/part in a logical sequence for re-assembly. The only thing that would add time to this is if you stripped the torx getting the airbag out or they wouldn't release. That's when an impact gun is worth it's weight in gold.
I removed the drivers seat for more room to work, not required at all, but I'm doing a big audio build and gutting the interior for it anyways so the seats were eventually coming out regardless.
