Since the steering wheel leather on my Cobra is shot I am ordering a new wheel.
I have never replace an air bag wheel before, do I need special tools or will a standad NAPA wheel puller do it. Also do I unplug the battery so the bag does not pop when I unplug the wire harness?
Its easy, but the autozone puller i tried didn't work well and i borrowed my friends puller he uses at his dealership...other then that its cake.
and definately unhook the neg on the battery first.
From the pictures the FR500 wheel looks the exact same as the stocker except it says cobra and its a little thicker...just seems like a lot of money for minimal gains...

I am not putting a FR500 on it. The wheels leather is all ripped apart and I dont want to band-aid it, besides I dont like covers. I am replacing it with another tan leather wheel from a wrecked Cobra.
I would say thats your best bet.. just get another stock one.. i got the FR500 and sold it 3 weeks later.. i didnt like how thick it was and it didnt feel right.. iam werid i know..
Taking off the wheel isnt very hard at all.. just take your time, and you'll be fine..
