Swap Steering Wheels: 3 Spoke And 4 Spoke

[gry]

I have a 3 spoke with Porsche emblem steering wheel in my 01 Boxster S and a 4 spoke plain steering wheel on my 911.

How hard is it to swap steering wheels?

Are there any directions to do this?

Tricks I need to know about the airbags?

Any tips so the steering wheel doesn't fall off while I'm driving?

Can anyone estimate how long this will take?

Takes me 10 minutes to do the swap - and I have been timed by our local group. :o

Alright Mr., do you have any instructions for us new, wussy folks so we don't cause major damage to our expensive babies?

I'm removing the Boxster 3 spoke steering wheel.

Then I'm removing the 911 4 spoke steering wheel.

And then the big swaparoo...followed by the tentative drive test. :)

Oh yeah, and I'll add x6 to your time, since I'm new at this.

I found this document:

If I'm just doing a swap, do I stop at step 21 and then swap the 3 and 4 spoke wheels out and then put everything back in?

Don't know what step 21 is. You whould be able to do it with the renntech post. Do not let the air bag hang from the cable or you will break the plastic prongs on the spiral spring. If the cars don't have the OBC then it would be a good time to do the retrofit. The DVD has all of this on it.
