Steering Wheel Removal 2

 

Now, once the nut is loose, attach your steering wheel puller to the wheel as in the first Picture. There should be two larger holes in the wheel to attach it too. (Not the three you used for the horn button screws) And once its attached just turn in the center bolt and the wheel should slide off the shaft as in Picture 9. Once the wheel breaks loose. Take the main steering wheel nut off and then pull the wheel off, as if Picture 10.

That covers the wheel removal, now if you need you can take the rest off and check connections and things under the wheel. Now you will need to pry off the dust cover as in Pictures 11 and 12. It will pop right off if you pry the edges.

Once the dust cover is off, Picture 13, you have the only real hard part left. You need to pop off the snap ring around the shaft. Notice in Pictures 14, 15 and 16. I used a Awl to start the ring out, then I used a flat tip to work it around. (Be careful, once the ring comes out, There is a strong spring behind the plate, holding tension on the assembly, it will pop out a little.)
