just loosen the four or so screws behind the wheel, for the air bag. then pop out the H on the front of the wheel then undo the bolt. Also unplug the airbag

^^ you realize that has a good chance at popping the airbag right?

1) Undo battery for like 20 minutes
2) THEN [freak] with it (and the H doesn't pop out on the 94-97 it's on the airbag)

I just did this. Its not all that bad, but the wheel is on there, i mean on there so make sure you have a puller or you are strong as S***. Theres a bunch of bolts and stuff, half the things dont even go back on it, just the two main covers.

AND !!!!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!! DO NOT buy a hub off ebay. I bought one of course tryin to save money for 40$ instead of $80, they dont fit. Plan on paying around $80 for a momo hub, fit first time like a charm. good luck
