Yes and it's not that difficult. The air bag must be removed and a large nut removed and a steering wheel puller to remove it. Removing the airbag is the hardest part. 2002's have 4 kind of triangle shaped holes on the back side of the steering wheel. Get a mirror and a flashlight so you can see in those holes. You will see something that looks like a small nail laying in there. That is actually a spring and you need a small straight screwdriver to stick in behind that spring and twist it to release that corner of the bag. you need to do that in each of the holes. It can be frustrating if you get one loose and then snap it back in while trying to get another one. On later chevy's there is just a small hole that you stick a nail or awl through to release it. They only have one hole on each side. Once the bag is loose it has yellow electrical leads going to it. be careful with those because they activate the air bags. It's actually a good ides to disconnect the battery about an hour before you start.
