Any chance you took photos/videos as you completed the install? I've watched a few 3 & 4 series videos but have only heard that the G30 is a pain to mess with.
Unfortunately I did not, I was too focused on not screwing up, and managed to still screw up.

Did find this video though that's super helpful showing the moving parts and how to get the airbag out:


Definitely 1,000% though unplug the battery before you ever mess with airbags. Anyone ever reading this, that is no joke. You don't want that shit blowing up in your face, plus a new airbag is like $450-500 (doesn't come with the $1k wheel, that's just the fucking wheel)

Other than honestly screwing up the screws and shearing them it was a pretty easy process. ThicWhips on YouTube has a good video of the paddle install, but goes the full on removing the wheel method. It's on an A90 Supra, but they have the same airbag/wheel base and paddles as the G30.

Hopefully this is of some help, but if you have any specific questions I'm happy to try and answer or grab pics
