Its not that hard, I had never done one and was a bit nervous removing the ignition and such, but it would take me less then an hour to do another one.
Is this a positive thats whats wrong with the electronics on the wheel, is that why my air bag light is on? What does the clock spring do exactly? Thanks.

I would say with 99% that your clock spring is broken if you lost cruise and the air bag light is on.

Clock spring allows you to turn back and forth and still have cruise and air bag power...

Oh ok, not sure if it makes a difference but the light flickers, like stays on goes off flicks and so on. Does this affect the horn as well? What does CSIPSD stand for?
