TheBeastie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Is this usually a swine of a job? Haynes says fabricate a tool but I have no steel so used 1" thick plywood strip lying around and and put washers under the two M6 bolts located into the wheel itself. I am putting fair pressure on the central bolt but nothing is shifting. I am using an M8 bolt and nut as the "pusher". Do I just welly it harder? Am nervous of breaking anything which would then make it impossible to get steering wheel back on. I suspect that the steering wheel may not have been off got 16 years Any thoughts?

LandyManLuke Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I think you'll break the ply before anything else. an alternative tactic is to slacken (not remove!!) the nut, then sit in the drivers seat and give the wheel a good waggle and pull. removing the nut completely results in the steering wheel and your nose meeting forcefully.

Happyoldgit Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Good advice - keep the loosened nut on the thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
