A BETTER WAY TO REMOVE YOUR STEERING WHEEL<br />
By Art Gardner<br />
If, like lots of us, you don‟t have a steering wheel puller, I‟ve come up with another, if not better, way to remove your steering<br />
wheel. Besides doing away with the need for a puller, this method spares the horn button contact from possible damage.<br />
Refer to the drawing below, which shows the top of the steering wheel after the horn button is removed. First, remove the<br />
large nut which holds the wheel. Using a small diameter round file (no, not the trash can), file “half-moon” slots into the<br />
middle of two opposite sides of the nut to line up with the threaded holes in the hub of the steering wheel.<br />
Now, refer to the drawing on the next page. Go to a hardware store or other supplier of fasteners which sells 3/8-16 “washerhead”<br />
bolts, sometimes referred to as washer-head screws. (These are bolts or screws with an integral built-in washer as part of<br />
the bolt head.) I suggest that you buy 6 such bolts: 3 pairs or 2 each, in lengths of ¾ inch, 7/8 inch and 1 inch (1.9, 2.2 and 2.5<br />
cm.), if available. You can see two of them in the drawing.
