I'm a bit confused by your description - have you already removed the steering wheel and confirmed that the adapter won't fit? If so, then get the correct adapter - period. IIRC, all A1 and A2 cars use the same diameter steering column.
When removing the steering wheel, remove the 24mm nut and gently rock the steering wheel from the column - no puller needed in most cases. The biggest trick to installing the new wheel is getting it on straight and getting the wave washer and nut started on the column - it helps to have long skinny fingers, I'm saddled with pudgy ham-hocks. --- Rob Baldwin <[email protected]> wrote: > > I just got my hub adapter for a MOMO wheel that's going into my '86 > GTI. > The hole for the steering column in the hub adapter is too small. > I noticed > that my steering column has the add-on toothed ring making the > column a lot > thicker than it would be otherwise.
