Prices range from $100-$500 and you more or less get what you pay for. Need a hub adapter too. I didn't have to use a puller for the wheels I've done, but you can get them cheap for like $10 sometimes at discount parts stores...carquest usually. I have one now just in case I feel like removing a steering wheel at any time, day or night. You can rent them free from Canadian Tire too. Wheels are expensive even used, so buy new, cuz just for a bit more you get that new feel. My friend bought a Grant one for $10 on ebay for his winter beater...it's actually pretty good for a $10 steering wheel, it's not leather or nothing but it's small and cool looking.

Disconnect the battery fo' sho!!! The airbag is not a real sensitive unit, but it can go off if it gets shocked. And yes, after the steering wheel comes off, the hub attaches and the wheel bolts to the hub...that easy. If you have cruise, make sure you get a hub with cruise control capabilities.

is the hub more exspensive??
do the wires for crusie control match up to the hub that easy?

It usually takes me 1/2 hour tops to do a steering wheel. If you check that link, the hub in not more expensive for a cruize cont. equipped car. Yes, everything matches up exactly, it's make/model/year specific.
