Hi. my son has a 2006 ford focus and wants to change the steering wheel,?

No gray area there.

first off disconnect the battery and wait 20 minutes to discharge the capacitors.
second, the horn pad cover removes from the back of the wheel, and is very tight.
the airbag is nested behind that with screws.
by him changing the steering wheel, the airbag light will constantly stay lit unless you remove the bulb, and then there's another issue.. you get to remove the guage cluster to do that.
you sons safety is at risk by him removing the airbag just for asthetics.. but it's not my car to judge..
most of the wheels i have removed,the screws are located on the back side of the wheel.They are resessed in there and were a tork head #15 OR #20.Make sure you disconect the battery and touch the disconected + and - to each other so that any stored energy is dicharged.
Eric and Steve are both correct. You know also, most states require you to report such changes to your insurance. You may not be covered otherwise. The safety equipment is put there for a reason.
