Steering wheel swap?

04 V70, could I swap my 04 leather 4 spoke steering wheel with a wood 3 spoke steering wheel off of an 03? Classic make work project. How difficult a job would this be? Thanks, Dave

If it were me I'd go for p3 platform steering wheel.

its easy, its doable. Just make sure you have the correct 3 spoke airbag that goes with the wood wheel.

the 4 spoke airbag bolts on with torx in the rear, the 3 spoke airbag clips on, you have to stick in a long thin punch to release the clips. Impossible to describe how. Watch a video. First time is a pain, once you know, you know how.

That sounds cool. My 03 XC had one of those nice wood 3 spoke wheels, always liked it. My local U Pull it yard sells steering wheels for $7 so I thought maybe I'd give it a shot. A few months ago they had a wooden 3 spoke but I didnt drop the big money at the time. D
