Default Steering Wheel Replacement

I am planning on replacing my steering wheel this weekend. It is a 79 with tilt/telescoping option. The wheel is an original style leather wrapped, 3 spoke from Wilcox. Is there any tricks or special instructions I should know for this job? It seems like it should be pretty straightforward but just in case....Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you can get plenty of tips in here, but if you don't have an assembly manual you can also check out the diagrams and instructions at autozone.com. Here's a link to the exploded diagrams and instructions for steering wheel replacement on 1963 to 1982 vettes. Good luck!
