Need to rotate my steering wheel about 10 degrees after doing the Jeep GC steering box upgrade (which is hella nice btw). How do I remove the horn button and then the wheel? I tried prying a bit under the button but didn’t want to risk damaging it unless I knew for sure. Guessing this isn’t original but I love the setup and want to keep/reinstall it.
Do NOT re-clock the steering wheel on the hub to fix an alignment problem. All that will do is give you different turning radius from right vs left.
The right way to fix this is to first center the steering box - and by that I mean set the box in the center of travel, not by looking at the wheels. The steering shaft will have a scribe mark on the end to indicate the 12:00 position. The steering wheel needs to match up with that. If the scribe mark isn't at 12:00 with the box centered, there is an alignment problem in the shaft or splines on the box. Fix that, not the wheel hub. Once you get the shaft and wheel all lined up at 12:00, then adjust the tie rods to get the wheels pointed straight ahead.
