Thanks for all your help on this rxinhed. I actually took off the clamshell that is around the steering shaft just behind the steering wheel, unfortunately there aren't any screws or clips on the back of this pad at all. Did that just now. Thanks for the photo, that is exactly the steering wheel I am working with, thanks also for trying to help. Am I looking in the right place on the outside reverse of the steering wheel? Or perhaps you meant at the pad junction where the pad meets the steering wheel, I haven't looked there so far. It's starting to rain here in Manitou Springs so I probably won't do any more today on this.
