Question Replacing steering wheel!!

HELP!!

I've bought a MOMO Millennium Steering wheel and need to detatch the old one. (2001 Lancer GLI). Is there a simple way of doing this? Can anyone point me into the right direction?

I have no documentation at home about this what-so-ever, and am worried the airbag will whack me in the face!!

Do you have a hub adapter?

Also technically it is illegal to replace an Air Bag steering wheel with another without an ADR air bag.

Taking off Airbag steering wheels are tricky, best to talk to a workshop about it.

I have a boss kit for it. Just need to know how to uninstall the old one.

As stated by THX1138 it is illegal to replace an air bag steering wheel with another without an air bag function. It is possible to swap them over and not a big issue as far as that side is concerned, however you will not find a workshop that will do it for you (legal reasons). If something does happen down the track and you have an accident you will not be insured regardless of the fact that you may have even notified the insurance company. Illegal modifications void policies. I would take the steering wheel back and try to find an Evolution IV, V or VI GSR steering wheel with the air bag, be prepared to pay for it though.
