Sirs Hello Sirs!
Private Freeman reporting back to HQ having successfully completed his
mission of changing his steering wheel in 15 minutes (stock to Moto-Lita).
Action reports follows (in triplicate):
After listening to sage listers, I performed the following actions-
-I used a 1 1/16" socket on the steering wheel nut (note size- the 1 1/8
conventional wisdom was not correct for my car, YMMV)
-I first screwed the nut IN, not out. This, I was told, would break the
crud lock on the wheel by sliding it forward a touch and loosening
everything up.
-I then screwed the nut out 99% of the way, leaving it on a few threads so I
wouldnt decapitate myself with the wheel when it gave under pulling
-I then pulled the wheel off with about 5lbs pressure
-Put the new wheel on, aligned it (sort of...straight ahead is in between
two splines on my setup).
Overall, wheel came off easier than I had been warned about. Just wanted to
publicize a) the size of the nut (1 1/16) and b) the "screw it in first,
then unscrew it" trick. (I didnt make it up, I was told it)
Private Freeman Signing off
Over and Out
