Shift knob is easy, you just unscrew it, but when you put a new one on, make sure it is the right thread pitch, the thread size is 10 x 1.25

For the wheel all you have to do is pop out the square plastic Ford logo in the middle of the wheel. You will see the nut that holds the wheel on....take a socket and take it off. Grab the wheel like you are driving and pull towards you and wiggle the wheel back and forth. Will take a little effort but will pop off no problem. Make sure you have the wheel set perfectly straight so when you take it off you know where to put the new one back on. Reinstall the nut and cover....happy driving.

For steering wheel...just pop the emblem out on the front and get a socket for the nut on the inside...can't remember what size (19mm?). Loosen it a bit, then pull on the steering wheel til you feel it pop free, then loosen the nut the rest of the way and you're done

Yep, Geneva beat me to it. I always leave that nut on until I break the wheel free....if not, you could bust yourself in the face when it breaks loose!

Only if you are using your nose to pull it....lol...or are near sighted and need to see what you are doing. Or have rubber arms and no way of stopping them when it breaks loose. Sorry...I am just picturing the thing ending up over someones head. LOL
