Is it difficult to replace the Gen1 lever? Is there a chance to screw up the airbag (or fire it off!) if it is to removed in order to remove the steering wheel? If anyone has done this replacement, please let me know! Thanks in advance!

Replacing the multi-function switch:

Removal

1.Disconnect battery ground cable.
2.Tilt column to lowest position and remove tilt lever.
3.Remove ignition lock cylinder. (I didn't have to do this step)
4.Remove shroud screws and remove upper and lower shrouds.
5.Remove two self-tapping screws attaching multi-function switch to steering column casting. Disengage switch from casting.
6.Disconnect the two electrical connectors.


Installation

1.Install two electrical connectors to full engagement.
2.Align multi-function switch mounting holes with corresponding holes in steering column casting. Install two self-tapping screws, making sure to start screws in the previously tapped holes. Tighten to 2-3 N-m (18-26 lb-in).
3.Install upper and lower steering column shrouds.
4.Install ignition lock cylinder. (If necessary)
5.Attach tilt lever.
6.Connect battery ground cable.
7.Check steering column and switch for proper operation.


Good luck

Sounds pretty straightforward. I'm glad I don't need to remove the wheel. Thanks.
