.. I did that on my last VE SSv wagon
got my local dealer to do it .. cost me $100 and THE DEALER paid for the plastic clips and switches (on the wheel controls)
they broke while doing it

Surely they broke the clips as they had NFI off course!

It isn't too difficult just take your time. To get the airbag clips undone, I found a wide stubby screwdriver worked well.

took my dealer about 50 mins (inc getting the replacement bits from spare parts)
so normally about 35-40mins I reckon. The longest part is re-setting the airbag trigger
thingy so the body module recognises it (afiter it got disconencted when the wheel came off)

Smitty I haven't heard of this before, done ours with batt still connected & all fuses in too & no problems.
