Removing steering wheel boss??

Postby lowmiata » Sat Feb 02, 2008 7:39 pm

I couldn't remember wether I had ever removed it before but pretty sure I haddn't as I re drilled the current boss to suit new steering wheel!

I need to get the boss of though so i can change the indicator/wiper assembly

have removed steering wheel/horn etc

and centre nut so spline is visable

but am using a fair amount of \"force\"
side to side up and down and hitting the nut straight on and under the rear lip of it to try and get it to move

my guess is that its been ther for 18 years why should it move for me sorta thing just wanted to check wether I am missing something?

I've also tried a gear puller but that just distorts the metal of the boss adapter.

any help as always much appreciated

Regards,
Ryno.
