				Does anyone have any advice or tips/hints for removing it?  Specifically safety wise.  I'll probably go over the helm's manual but it sometimes wants me to use a tech scan tool for everything.   (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

				Well I just got the wheel in.  The grant wheel with adapter and hardware weighed in at 3.25 lbs.  My stock wheel with airbag was 8.25 lbs.  Bathroom scale, YMMV. I did what Lonnie and Mike did-pulled the fuse and disconnected the battery and let it sit. It took me a while to do it because I had to grind and regrind the black cosmetic cover that comes with the adapter to keep it from rubbing the column. I also drilled a hole into the adpater for the airbag wires to feed through-so it will be easier to convert it back to the stock airbag wheel if necessary. Still gotta go drive it, but that would involve musical cars in the driveway.
