how do you take a sports steering wheel off "first I need to know how the center cap comes off" thanks
The cap just pops off. You can pull it off with your hands. THat exposes a nut that holds the wheel on the column. Remove the nut. Now, you will need a steering wheel puller. These are available at the local parts store. I was lucky enough to have an Auto Zone that rents them out. The puller is self-explanitory. It should pull right off!
thanks thanks "I love this Board" it is so nice to get info and tips from fellow buick people thanks agian
Sport wheel Ryan it will not hurt to put a rag or towel over the spokes during the removal process . Helps keep you from scratching or nicking the spokes while your hooking up the puller . Been there the hard way at one time .... Good Luck !:TU:
Re: Sport wheel Best way to avoid scratchs is to remove wheel from hub first (simply unscrews) and then use puller on hub only.
Re: Re: Sport wheel Sorry about that . Yes you can remove the wheel by removing the screws. I'm thinking about the time I removed the wheel in a parking lot , to move it over a few clicks so it would be centered going down the road. :TU:
When installing the wheel, there is a centering mark on the wheel and steering column stud so you have the wheel properly aligned so the horizontal bars are horizontal when the wheels are straight forward.
steering wheel if u do not see the centering marks , u should mark a spot with a punch , on the steering column shaft & steering wheel collar , BEFORE removing the wheel . that way u have an easy re-installation .
