Steering wheel question

My friend has a 98 se and I have a 95. His car is getting taken because he doesn't want payments and it's in his dad's name that died. So my question is i want his wheel, and i will have to put mine on his car. Is this possible? Are there any special tricks or tools needed. Thanks guys

nope they should be completely interchangeble. but you will need a special hex key (it has a hole in the middle) to remove the two bolts from the side. good luck... that's all i remember when i switched out my steering wheel for a momo one.

If you wanna replace the steering wheel, you'll need to replace the airbag as well since they are different shape.

Take both cars to any shop, it's a bout 45 min. job to switch the airbags from one car to another. I was lucky enought that my buddy had a shop at that time, so no problem with the tool.
