Steering Wheel

[ramzb]

Has anyone got any tips for removing the steering wheel. I've undone everything but it's as tight f@*k even tried beating it with a lump hammer. Do I need some sort of hub puller or is there an easier way?

I pulled my steering wheel off by hand. It helps if you shout at it. Watch out you dontfly back and smack your head when it eventually comes off.


There should just be the one big hut in the centre holding it on................


There are pullers available to do the job and make it light work though

I've tried shouting at it, swearing at it, hitting it and it still won't budge. Might have to get to welding torch on it

here is the trick of the trade moment tap the steering wheel in sequence left and right ie left-right-left-right each time harder than before and it will loosen

dont force it,use a bigger hammer

[datdrift]

just grab it at either side and as flex said pull one side then the other

it depends on the car...actually...it depends if it's mk.I or mk.II lol


both my MK.I's had no problem...I could either rip it off with my hands, or just use a rubber mallet and smack it off as per the above instructions easily.

My MK.II was a different story altogether. Took me a good hour of swearing, pulling, and smashing with my hammer before it started to budge.
