TajMan Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 So, we found a '74 Datsun 260z in the local self-pull junk yard. It has a factory steering wheel my roommate wants for his '78 Datsun 200sx! (his has a Grant GT aftermarket wheel now) I tried pulling the horn button in the yard so I could unbolt and remove steering wheel.. but I can't seem to get the whole center horn button section to remove (I don't want to pull hard and break it) How does the clip system work, how to remove? Is a steering wheel puller going to be required after center bolt removed? Should use same splines, should bolt on 200sx right? Quote Link to comment
SlottedMagz Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 My z didn't come with the horn button so I can't help with that. But once you remove that all you should need to do is loosen the bolt( don't remove completely) just hit the wheel a couple times to loosen it and pull her off Quote Link to comment

Ranman72 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 push in hard on the horn button and twist counter clockwise they are spring loaded and sit on three screws Quote Link to comment
TajMan Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah I got the horn button and the horn off, thanks guys. Unfortunately, the '74 260z uses a steering wheel with bigger shaft/splines than the '78 200sx, bummer that it won't work. I guess if you tried swapping an entire steering column from the 260z, but I bet that's not easily possible. Quote Link to comment
