Thread: Question I should already know the answer to -

I agree with Jerry. You can do it, but you need to get the OEM instructions, disconnect the battery, discharge any capacitor that might be there to serve the airbag, etc, etc to pull the wheel on a modern vehicle. Then when you put it all back there are ordered steps to getting it all back in working order, so that you know the airbag will function if needed. I'd either take it to the dealer (ouch!!) or find a really good independent shop that you have confidence in for that type of complexity. Here's a link to a R&R description on a Malibu website, looks quite complex, and this is just to get you past the wheel removal - How-To: Steering Wheel / Air Bag removal/replacement - Page 2 - Chevy Malibu Forum: Chevrolet Malibu Forums
