I’ve got everything off of it but the wheel, so far, won’t budge. I’ve had it off before but it’s been so long ago I forgot how I did it. I do remember that when I reattached the wheel those many years ago, I put a little grease on the splines. I’m hoping that since I did that, repeated wiggling and pulling of the wheel will eventually pull it loose. I know these wheels are pretty tender and I must admit that mine isn’t perfect, but I surely don’t want to make it worse…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Andy<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Smit, Theo [mailto:Theo.Smit@garmin.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, March 22, 2015 7:46 PM<br><b>To:</b> Andy Walker; tigers@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Tigers] Steering wheel<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>This is probably scary to admit but I’ve never had a problem removing the steering wheel… I have the original wheel and a smaller leather wheel that I sometimes used for autocross, so I’ve gone back and forth a few times. I just undo the nut, wiggle (the wheel) a bit and it comes off. Biggest thing to watch for is that I don’t accidentally knock the adjustable part down the column.
