Default Replacing the steering wheel

How hard is it to replace the steering wheel? When I bought the car, the left side would bend real easy when I push on it, and now the right side is doing the same. I've never had to deal with airbags or anything, and I'm worried about setting them off. Also, since my car doesn't have radio controls in the wheels, how hard would it be to put in a wheel with those on it? By the way, this is in a '99 Camaro SS.

Its easy to get the wheel off just undo the negtive battery terminal then theres 4 bolts behind it holding the air bag in then go to a parts store and pick up a steering wheel puller for about 10 15 dollors. But about swiching the wheels i wanted to do it too i tried it but didnt suceed lol

Cool, sounds simple enough.

Lol, I'll probably just stick to a wheel without controls.

Last night I was looking around for a replacement wheel, and found some at Hawks Third Gen Parts. A leather one like mine costs $610 dollars! Are they that expensive everywhere else?
