Default How much to have steering wheel changed out?

Looking at a Vette Essentials wheel- what is customary or what have you paid the dealer to do the swap? They recommend the dealer does this on the Vette Essentials site...

Just curious...

I paid one hour of labor @ $62.50/Hr. Knowing what I do now, I would do it myself.

$50, the tools will cost about $40, about an hour to do; if your not confident in disarming the air bag, don't try this job

shop manual describes procedure on disarm

I too paid one hour labor for the dealer to swap mine out. Came to $43 (labor rates are low around here).
