Theo/Mark:

 

Yeah, I am worried about pulling the threads for the horn ring out of the
steering wheel center.  I've got everything off of it but the wheel, so far,
won't budge.  I've had it off before but it's been so long ago I forgot how
I did it.  I do remember that when I reattached the wheel those many years
ago, I put a little grease on the splines.  I'm hoping that since I did
that, repeated wiggling and pulling of the wheel will eventually pull it
loose.  I know these wheels are pretty tender and I must admit that mine
isn't perfect, but I surely don't want to make it worse.

 

Thanks,

Andy

This is probably scary to admit but I've never had a problem removing the
steering wheel. I have the original wheel and a smaller leather wheel that I
sometimes used for autocross, so I've gone back and forth a few times. I
just undo the nut, wiggle (the wheel) a bit and it comes off. Biggest thing
to watch for is that I don't accidentally knock the adjustable part down the
column. That would take a five minute task and extend it a LOT.

 

Andy, I recall those horn ring screws are like 10-32 or something like that?
I'd worry about pulling the threads. on the other hand, given how easily
mine comes off, you might be OK using those screw holes with a puller.

 

Good luck,

Theo

Hello, gents:

 

Can anyone out there tell me how to SAFELY remove the steering wheel from a
Tiger without messing up the hub?  It is safe to use a puller in the horn
ring bolts???

 

Thanks,

Andy Walker

Edmond, OK
