How do I remove this steering wheel without damaging/breaking it??
I?ve gotten as far as removing the horn pad and top plastic trim to the steering column but I?m finding that getting a thin wall 27mm deep socket on the steering wheel nut is an impossible task without breaking the plastic horn contact piece.
1st photo is the overall view of the piece I need out of my way to access the nut holding the wheel on.
2nd and 3rd photos show how ridiculous the obstacle is to getting a socket and breaker bar on the nut holding the wheel on.
Someone please tell me what steps I?m missing, I?m about ready to say **** the old wheel and take a crowbar to it since I?m removing to install an R-Sport wheel anyways. But obviously, I?d prefer not to trash the original.
