DIY: Steering Wheel Removal

EmilZ · 08-07-2014, 11:07 AM

Aaaaanddddd..... The donk of the day award goes to me....

Dually noted gentlemen. Just found on a 350z forum that the correct spline has a hash mark. Looked on my old wheel and there it is. Battery is disconnected for yet the 3rd time now and is waiting realignment.

So... for all of you reading this that have never changed a steering wheel before. Follow this DIY. Check updated pics throughout the whole post.

And match up the hash marks on your hub and your wheel.

I guess my blanket statement for reverse order of disassembly for reassembly was to vague. If you don't want to take the wheel back off you can just hit a curb on the opposite side.

I guess I will add that I'm just poking fun since sarcasm can't be read online. Sorry if the DIY wasn't clear enough 3rd time is a charm!

The funny thing about it is that I have actually tested that theory... Not by choice though.

when i do steering wheel swaps, the very first thing i do is align steering wheel to point noon position.

Very straight forward! Thanks for the writeup!

Just a heads up. If you are having problems with the screws stripping out you need to try EzGrip. On any fastener or screw/bolt that im having trouble getting out i use this stuff.

Im an Aircraft Mechanic by trade and i use EzGrip daily. Just a little goes a long way. Take a look, well worth the investment and it keeps forever if you dont use it right away.

EzGrip :: screw extraction, friction drops, screw removal

Volusia, where did you get that shift knob for your auto. Does it use the safety switch, or how did you get around that issue?

Thanks, mods look sweet.

Zoren 370 · 09-05-2015, 05:36 PM
