I had to take my car to the Porsche store to do it, some silly 12 pt torx that is a special tool is required to remove the wheel.

They only charged me $120 to do it

Here is a link with some info that should help. PRESS HERE

Also:

1. Make sure battery is disconnected and keys out of the ignition

2. Invest in a long T30 screw driver for removing air bag screws

3. The airbag screws where really tight and I used a pair of vice grips to gain additional leverage

4. After removing airbag turn steering wheel and front tires dead center before removing the steering wheel for reference on re-install

Very straight forward and an easy DIY Project.

Let the car sit in the sun so the wheel is hot. The torx screws have locktight and the heat will aid in removal of the Torx screw.

Finally got the wheel installed, it was an easy job, i just got some trouble to hookup the airbag screws, while i was at the shop i also exchanged the pedals for the metal ones...looks great if you ask me !
