Momo Champion, when I get home from work I am going to eat my steak pie and aunt bessie yorkshire puddings then attempt to remove the old steering wheel.

This is going to be a mission I feel, any hints or tips?

It is hard to remove the old steering wheel, I've been trying since I got the car nearly a year ago to get the bastard thing off

WD40 and my dads brute force maybe required.

a puller is cheap and easy to make if you got a welder

tie some rope round the spokes of the steering wheel, and tie the other end to a lampost, then roll the car forward, not too fast and keep one hand on the handbrake. i await the results.

Well Halfords are thick as shit, they don't have or sell a steering wheel puller although I don't believe the bloke as he looked liked he was on work experience from special school.

Anywhere else I can get one from? Would Vaux be able to sort me out?

i did mine without a puller, i couldn't find one in the end.


i just spent a while yanking it, shaking it and pulling, wiped off then put it away and went to try and get steering wheel off using the same techniques.

took a while but it happened in the end.

i put a cavalier steering wheel in my nova
