Another way we used to do was to loosen the nut and leave it on (as below) then hit the wheel alternately left and right with your hands and that used to loosen them off. Has always worked for me. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 14 August 2000 16:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: B10 James, This method has always worked for me. Place the steering wheel in the straight ahead position. ( This way when you put it back it will be where you left it) Sitting on the seat ( use a cushion or two if your short) place your knees/thighs under the wheel. Replace the steering wheel nut back onto the threaded section by half a doz turns ( this prevents the wheel hitting you in the face when it comes off) Putting upward pressure fron your knees/thighs give a short shap blow on the shaft using a metal drift (pref brass) and a hammer ( dont hit the nut, you will stuff it). DONT flog the shaft, as you will damage the collapsable portion of the steering column. It should pop of easy !!! Regards Bruce __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
