Simple. 2 torks bolts on side of column holding the air bag. Pull air bag/steering wheel controls out and unplug. Remove 19mm nut from steering column (it's on tight with a bunch of loctite, just like the shift knob). Wheel pulls right off. Transfer a couple parts over to new wheel and re-install. There are alignment marks on wheel and steering column shaft so you can't misalign wheel. Takes a half hour max. There's a youtube video that shows the process.

And don't forget to disconnect your battery first.
