: I'm new to Model A restoration and need information on the
: basic procedure for removing the steering wheel.If it makes
: a difference, I've got a '29 Tudor.I've removed the large nut
: that looks like it holds the wheel on, but nothing moves.Is
: the wheel a press fit over splines, does it have a key, or
: what?I thought about making a puller, but I was afraid of
: breaking something since I really don't know how it is
: assembled.
Been there, done that (recently).In addition to the other comments, you should note that the steering shaft is a tube that can be broken quite easily, so take it easy with the hammer on the nut.I improvised a puller across the face of the wheel using c-clamps and care.Moller's book also was helpful with bad things that can happen to the unwary.Also, if you have a two-toother, the rules are different.Mine's a 7 tooth.Good luck.
