G'day Eberhard
I am having the same problem removing the steering wheel in my car. It moves
about 5mm and then stops. It's as if there is a stepped spline that is
stopping it. I recall the same problem thirty years ago when it was first
removed. That was done by a friend who asked me to not watch when he used a
BIG hammer.
This time I have tried a rubber hammer, leverage etc. but no success. Next
is a steering wheel puller, however I have noticed two small holes in the
boss and one of these may lead to a detent ball arrangement.
Heavens knows what's original with the BN3/1.
Watch this space.

Subject: [Healeys] Stearing wheel sticky
Hi,
I have a problem removing the steering wheel of my BN6.
I recently managed to unscrew the large nut of the steering
wheel. Washer as well as aluminium (or alloy?) ring with nose
for indicator could be taken off.
Now the steering should be free to be pulled off. But it is
sticky. I can only move it about 1 cm forwand and backward.
I have made some fotos of this:

I can freely move the wheel between these two positions but
I have no chance to pull it of. There seems to be another
protection against pulling but I can't find it. Can someone
of you help me?
Thanks,
Eberhard
