B210 GX Steering Wheel Removal

[angliagt]

Went to pull the steering wheel off of the GX.The factory shop manual

says to "pull the cover off".I got the soft cover off,but can't get the hard plastic

one under it to come off.

Is there a trick to this?

Disconnect the horn, then press the center in and twist it off

[ggzilla]

The "center' is the soft one. Push & twist/rotate then straight off.

 

Not sure what you mean by "hard cover"

 

After you get the center horn button off, remove the large Nut, then use a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel.

^{Itried twisting it & turning it,but it won't budge.}

You have to push it IN, really hard, then it twists off. :thumbup:

A lot of guys have broken the horn button pulling it off -- don't use any force to pull it off. Use the force to push it down. So be careful ... one of those wheels sold for $135 on eBay.

Hahahaha I always see em broke , some one pulls the " soft cover " rubber from the horn button. Wich is really hard, I know because I learned how they work by ripping one to pieces lol. Push in hard and and slowly gently twist it both ways it should just turn and plop off.

Last month I was forcefully filling people's cars with gx wheels lol.

I had like 10 of them and thought they where a sought after item. Turns out there not.

Sold a mint condition one for 40$. Gave the rest away.

Might have flooded the market lol

[angliagt]

Is it clockwise,or counterclockwise?

I can't believe this is becoming "brain science"!

[B210GX]

counterclockwise

 

 

lock the steering wheel with the key out of the ignition.

[RedBanner]

Yeah lock the column, great idea. Can't rememberc which way, never can but just push and twist back and forth. And use a wheel puller don't hammer on the steering wheel nut.

They are not sought after, you have to put LOOK @Y@ and RARE GX in the title of your ad. Then people will do an impulse buy. I kid you not. Just like the B that sold for $8900 this week, while other better coupes sold for far less money.

id like to see this 9000$ B. you have a link or pictures?

[angliagt]

Dave,

 

Did you mean that 1200?

 

- Doug

[ggzilla]

Yes, the B110.

[0r0B210]

Once the idX comes out, our B's are gonna be sought after.  Looks more like the B than a 510, in my opinion.

 

Thanks for the lesson on the wheel removal.  Just got mine, the leatherette(lol) wrap- according to techwiki.  ILR!
