I haven't done one on a Scoob. I can't see it being a problem though. Slow & Carefull + a bit of wire . Someone who has done it will make things a little more clear. :EVO:

Very simple thing to do shouldn't take longer then 10 min.
First disconnect the battery. Put the wheels straight so that when the new wheel goes on they'll be straight too.
At the 3 and 6 position on the back of the wheel there'll be 2 holes with the fixings that hold the air bag. Can't remember what they are whether it's bolt or spline. (sure someone here will know)
Undo these and the airbag will pretty much fall off.
Centre of the steering wheel is a nut take this off.
I your very lucky the wheel will pull off. If not a few gentle hits with the hand around the edge will loosen it. Then put on your new wheel in reverse order.
One good tip to get perfect fitting. You'll need a quite road.
Put on the new wheel but not the nut. Drive a few feet to makes sure its in the right position perfectly because it can be a pain to get perfect just sitting in the car. If your like me I can drive with an off centred wheel.
Hope this makes sense a helps.

The airbag is on torque bits, and be careful not to over tighten the boss when fitted because its easy to do then they rub on the cowling
