Steering Wheel Removal

[CMF_danno88]

How the hell do you get the piece of **** off? its on a 96 LX, no air bag. i cant see any flaps to remove bolts or anything...

Remove the centre piece of plastic (horn), there is a nut under there.

i know that, i can get the centre bit out tho... i dont see any screws for it

 

[CMF_danno88]

got it! just gotta reef it

I found it helps to go crazy and hit either side of the front of the wheel and then pull it off once the nut is undone to get it off the spline.. came of almost too easily last time I did it and almost hit myself in the face with the steering wheel

a good tip is not to completely unscrew the nut off the column so that when the wheel eventually slips after some brute force yankin the nut will prevent it from heading towards ur face at terminal velocity

Ahh yes! I do remember doing that the next time around actually. That is an extremely good tip First time's always the worst.

I made sure to leave the nut threaded just a bit, after smacking myself in the face the first time around as well.

If it doesn't come off easily I just use a puller.
Sometimes brute force results in breakage of something (me or car).
Leaving the nut partly on is certainly wise.
