First, loosen the large bolt located at the centre of the steering wheel, then remove the nut from the steering wheel and disconnect it from the steering column. Once the old and damaged steering wheel is removed, insert the new stunning steering wheel onto the column (pass the power cable through) and begin tightening the large bolt onto the central pin. Ensure everything is tightened properly, then connect the horn wires and secure the steering wheel with the round piece. Test the reliability of the installed components on the vehicle.
