California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler To pull the steering wheel (assuming no steering wheel puller), I loosen the nut but leave it on the end of the shaft (a few turns at least). Then sit in the driver's seat and give the wheel a good tug. If it does pop loose, the nut on the end of the shaft will keep the wheel out of your face! r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Horn button [Re: 4Crawler] #820831 06/27/07 12:04 AM Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 970 Winston-Salem NC R RatLabGuy Rock Warrior Quote To pull the steering wheel (assuming no steering wheel puller), I loosen the nut but leave it on the end of the shaft (a few turns at least).
