hi any advice im going to change my nardi steering wheel for a aftermarket wheel .any advice would be welcome

 

bttt

 

Make sure your wheels are straight before you remove the steering wheel. Seems obvious but is easily forgoten.

 

thanks for reply any help as in how do i remove old s/wheel

 

Not done it on my scooby, but they are the same on most cars with airbags:

Disconnect the battery and/or remove airbag fuses leave for 10 minutes as a precaution.
Remove airbag: normally torque screw on the back of the steering wheel, with the points facing towards you.
Straighten car wheels.
Undo centre nut. Allen key bolt or big torque on some cars.
Pull steering wheel towards you, whilst rocking sides of the wheel.
Steering lock would need to be off, so key in the ignition.

Hope that helps.
As mentioned, not Scooby specific, but they are all the same.

 

help please there no air bag as its 1992 .ive removed big nut in middle of wheel but cant budge wheel is there something else to remove .ive been pulling like mad but still no luck

 

Wiggle it as you pull it towards you.
MAybe put the steering lock on to help.

 

Hold hands at 3:45 aon the wheel. push with left and pull with right, then push with right and pul with left.. do this a few times and it should come off easy!

 

put the nut back on a couple of turns or ur gona end up in hospital with a broken nose. if it wont wiggle off get urself a 2 fingered bearing puller and try that, I dont think it will come off with the steering lock on will it.
I know it will be on tight as I've just done mine on my MY96

 

Recenremoved one of these, as said, make sure the steering lock is off, put the nut on maybe two turns to stop it flying right off when it cracks.

Grab the very top of the steering wheel and push it in and then pull it out a few times then with the sides the bottom etc it will eventually work loose.

 

I remember doing this on the wifes (1990) MX5.
After being on there for 15 years it was well and truly stuck.
Just keep wiggling it and pulling and it will eventually come off.

thanks for replys still cant shift the bloody wheel will try again later .think i broke my hand lol

 

lol, try it with a bearing puller, just tension it a bit and squirt some WD40 onto the shaft, might have a bit of rust or somethin on the splines.
when you get it off make sure u dont disturb the plastic ring behind the boss that does the self canceler for the indicators,

 

can you chage the wheel on a wrx to a airbag wheel?? On my wrx it hasnt got steering lock on it.

 

thanks for all replys JOB DONE anybody else doing same job get yourself a wheel bearing puller makes it a 10 min job ,

 

Glad you got it sorted mate, loads easyer with the puller isnt it

 

wheel came of really easy with bearing puller .spent 2 hours thumping hammering wheel thought it was a tight as my mates wallet lol
