Re: Steering Wheel Removal

The wheel I restored came from a parts car. My original wheel is still on the car.

How did you restore your wheel and don't know how to get it apart to remove it or reinstall it???? Did you restore it with the horn mechanism and trim still installed and worked around it??? Just wondering?

One of the things I'm scratching my head over is finding the right place to pull it from. It's a '64 Plymouth sport wheel, so it has a double horn ring. Pulling in the edges of the ring isn't good because it moves, and it's hard to get in between the ring bars and the back of the wheel. See the attached pic. By the way, this is a pic of the wheel we restored before we started working on it.

Thanks,

Harbor freight usually has them for around $10 if you want to add to your tool collection,,,,,,,

You need a tool with the catchy name: "steering wheel puller". :) You used to be able to "rent" them for free at some parts stores. (There is also a handy tool called a "Steering Wheel Lock Plate Remover and Installer" too if the future calls for additional Mopar blood letting.)

One tip is to loosen but leave the nut on the steering shaft until the wheel "pops" loose. Otherwise you risk mushrooming the threads at the end of the shaft. (Don't ask me how I know.) LOL

Congratulations on the steering wheel reconditioning too!
