Beginer Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 I feel really stupid having to ask, but has anyone taken off the steering wheel to a '78 200sx. my problem is more the horn button, I have no clue how to get it off. It is not like the steering wheels I'm used to, here is a pic of it I can't seem to find some one that has done it, so I'm probably overlooking something simple. Any help would be great.

datzenmike Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 Push down on the button firmly and twist? Quote Link to comment
josh_t Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 OMG thats the steering wheel i have been looking for. do those fit b210's? and dont they come in black? Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 If I remember correctly, that one actually just slips around a collar. Grab it from the bottom edge (closest to the wheel, behind the cover, near the spokes) and shimmy it around the plate and pull off straight towards you. Heat it up with a hair dryer first to prevent cracks. After it's off, you'll have access to the steering wheel bolt. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Turn it counter clockwise till it gives, then it will come off! Got one of those wheels sittin in my part pile! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 280z are similar. Quote Link to comment
LenRobertson Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 From 1979 Factory Service Manual - "Remove horn pad by depressing and turning counterclockwise." Okay, that is the theory. I've tried to remove the one on my SX and couldn't get it to budge, although I didn't want to get too rough with it. I tried it on another SX at Pull n Save, and didn't do any better. So either I'm weak (very possible), or the things can really be on there tight. PLEASE post if you get yours off, and how hard it was to turn off. Next time I go to P&S, I plan to practice on any 280s or similar Datsuns I find. Maybe there is a trick I need to learn. Or start lifting weights. It looks in your pic like you have the optional adjustable outside mirror. I went to a bit of work taking one of these off a P&S SX, but haven't got it on my car yet. No one drives it but me, so the mirror never needs adjusting. Len Quote Link to comment
Beginer Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I took mine apart the hard way I slooooowly unbolted it after I got the cover off, which was a pain in the ass. but you do just push down on the horn button and turn it, not all that easy to do, but easier than the way I did it.
