I recently replaced it, it was fairly easy, I ended up breaking the original installing a new steering wheel

. Pretty much just take the wheel off, I took the plastic around the steering column off, and put the new one in, making sure its lined up, then put it back together. I can't remember if you need to take the plastic parts off for the clock spring or not, but I was painting my paddle shifter's red so I had to.

i busted the airbag plug trying to install a wheel too. I bought some used airbag plugs on eBay and plan to solder them later. Cheaper and less complicated than replacing the whole clock spring.

Well I took a gamble on a $39.99 chinese ebay clock spring, hoping at least it would turn the left/ right turn stalk off after I turn the wheel, and its actually worked as well as stock.
