Wonga Spar Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) I'm trying to remove an old momo steering wheel to replace with a Celica one. I've got the wheel, airbag and adaptor, but when I pull the aftermarket wheel off I'm looking at some adaptor plate (looks like a works bell hub/spacer(?) and it absolutely won't come off. I have poured over guides/videos but what I have on my car doesn't match any of them, which suggests I'm missing something... please somebody tell me how to get this metal plate off, or what I need to buy to get this celica wheel on Any help hugely appreciated, I'm going mad here.

Style Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Have you given it a real good wobble and pull with the wheel on the boss? The splines are a snug fit when putting something like that on and it provides a lot of contact friction. So it might need a bit of persuasion to pull it off. There may also be some light corrosion thats bound them together a little as well. As far as I'm aware, it's just a central nut that holds that in place which it looks like you've zipped off. So it should be free. Hopefully it's not a case of chewed splines from the boss having a slightly different pattern or something Edited May 22 by Style (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonga Spar Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Ive persuaded it as much as I dare unfortunately. I've done all the tricks, bashed it, soaked in wd40, put the wheel on and yanked, I'm not a strong man by any stretch but I can confidently say I've given it more than enough force than it should need. Really worried about damaging something if I get any meaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 You have to use enough brute force so it flys off and hits you in the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
