Todd, I must add some itmes to your instructions:

FIRST disconnect the battery in the trunk!!!

Always carry the airbag pointing away from you and set it down pointing up.



>#3 You'll see a nut holding the wheel on, remove it. Now use a wheel

>#4 Use you new wheel and reverse the order   :)



There is a slight modification to the horn wiring required. Moss includes

the connectors.

Or, if you want, I sure that Moss will do the install.
