- First, why is it off? If the track rod ends are way out such that the rack is not central in the straight-ahead position (very different number of threads showing each side) then this should be corre

- I own a '77 B and tried all the conventional list wisdom to get my steering wheel off. I tried pushing with my knees; pulling; tapping the shaft whilst pulling; cursing it out; a gear puller (which b
