Can we do this? (aka The DIY Cruise Control Thread)

Airbag pullers: its very easy. Make sure the battery is disconnected for a few minutes (I think the manual says 3-6, I waited 10), then use the CORRECT torx driver to remove the 2 side-bolts (you'll need one with a bit of reach), and it might take a decent tug to break the bolt initially, but then its easy). You should matchmark your wheel before you pull it. You shouldn't need a wheel pullet, just tug back-and-forth till it comes off. If you move your closckspring at all, read the directions on how to reset it. Its not hard, but needs to be done right or it will be an EXPENSIVE repair, and might set-off the airbag when you are turning. This is not a process to be afraid of, just take your time and know the steps. BTW - the "clockspring" is the name for the circular plastic unit behind the steerign wheel that allows all the wires to reach the steering wheel/cruise/airbag/horns and still spin the steering wheel round-and-round, where some very old vehicles ran the wires through a hollow center shaft.
