taking off the steering wheel

[munchen]

i wanna get the steering wheel off on me 86. i thought id ask exactly how before i break it. can anyone help?

Seriosuly?

Take whatever is covering the nut up in the midde of your steering wheel, then grab a 17mm or 19mm socket (I forget what size) with an extension, crack the nut, undo a little.
Then give steering wheel a few yanks till it pops off the spline, then remove the nut and presto...no steerer.

thought i should add a pic just in case

get a screwdriver, pry out the little biscuit / badge thingo.

then get a 19mm socket, extension bar and ratchet. Undo the nut til it's only a few turns from coming off.

then shake and try and pull the steering wheel off, this will take a bit of effort.

when it's loose, take off the nut completely and remove the wheel.

not removing the nut completely stops you from smacking yourself in the face with the wheel when it flies off :)

there is no screws the steering wheel is whole no face to remove

i was going to try and remove the badge but i thaught it was glued on its stuck on pretty tuff

[munchen]

nah it just pops out. put the screwdriver underneath, lever it out and presto.

pop that off^ use ur wheel brace or 19mm socket

take nut off, give ur wheel a few hard thumps either side and a wiggle and she will pop off!

make sure ur front wheels are straight when u take ur steering wheel off :D

ur learn after a time or 2 :lol:
