Apparently it is pretty straight forward, from what I have read. I repaired mine by restitching it. Poked myself a few times with the needle, but it looked fine.
I know that when they do leather seats they use steam and warm water to stretch the leather.

Steering Wheel
Ben,
I wanted to have my steering wheel redone, not because the leather was bad, I wanted red deviated stitching to match the rest of my interior. The shop that did the interior on my car wanted $400 to redo the rim of the steering wheel! OUCH! They told me it was very labor intensive and would not do it any cheaper. I had another quote from a second upholstery shop who wanted $300-400 depending on how much glue needed to be removed from the rim? Good luck, Mark
