Re: [DML] Steering wheel removal



Sorry John, but I strongly disagree - all that's required is a force that pulls the wheel off in a strait line. I believe the threads are M6 and go to a depth of about 10mm. In addition to my last post, the large bolt that pushes onto the end of the column should be sharpened into a point as this locates it centrally.

The contraption James made has worked on 100% of cars tested (numbering three so far) and none could be removed without it.

Paul, can you bring it with you to the NEC this Sunday - I'll take a photo of it.

You can use a standard steering wheel puller with some modifications.

First you need long bolts to clear the steering wheel with the puller, I used 1/4 inch threaded rod from the hardware store.
next you need to drill and retap the two threaded holes in the steering wheel for the puller, they are metric and way to small. they will strip you try to pull the steering wheel off. You may even have to go to the next larger size rod depending how much force is needed to pull the steering wheel off. But by using the right tool for the job the steering wheel will come off.
