2001 S40 Steering Wheel Replacement

Hello Volvo Lovers,
I just bought a 2001 S40 1.9T for my daily driver, the steering wheel was bent due to it's previous owner being a very large person, and he used it as a handle to get in and out of the car. I bought a used leather steering wheel and want to install it, I am very good with cars, but this means dealing with the air bag, Where can I find instructions on how to replace the steering wheel?
Thanks Suprageezer

So I decided to have a shop do this, they installed the steering wheel for 45.00. Then they called me when they were done and told me,the SRS code is being thrown up, and they don't have anything to clear the code. So I call a volvo dealer, they want 150.00 because before they clear the code they want to verify the original shop installed the steering wheel properly, a legal thing I'm sure. Is there any other way to clear this code?
Thanks Geezer
