Steering wheel installation

1968 42 · 04-10-2008, 01:51 PM

Want to swap out a grant wheel with an authentic 16" "wood" wheel. Can someone help me with assembly tips (e.g., how I remove the horn cap w/o distroying it, etc.). Tks.

Most steering wheel center caps just pull off.....some horn button assemblys are screwed with screw holes on the back side of the wheel....You need a steering wheel puller to do the job easily....the repalacement wheel will push on and then the center nut goes on tight. The one there now needs the puller....make sure the wheels are straight when you put the new wheel on straight.

Factory wheels have a mark that lines up with a mark on the end of the column, like a chisel notch.
