Steering Wheel Replacement Help
Bought a nice 4 Spoke wheel from another member and was planning on installing this evening. I removed the aftermarket Grant Steering wheel and billet trim ring but I can not get this damn thing off (image attached). I haven't gone all caveman on it yet...am I missing something? It seems like it should just unscrew?

You need a steering wheel puller to get that off. Local autoparts store should rent you one, or they are cheap enough, just buy one.

If going "caveman" involves a club, do not use it. It can damage the collapsing feature of the column.
Rent or buy a puller or make your own with a plate of steel and some old long bolts that will thread into the holes and one in the center with a few nuts on it.

Pullers are cheap.
You should have one. Go out and spend the $15. Live a little!  - Eric |

Harbor Freight should have one that will do what you need.
