 Topic: Can’t get steering wheel off ’73 MustangPosted: March-13-2004 at 8:32pm |

I have a 1973 CC Mustang. The steering wheel has about 1 inch play in it. That is when pushing between dash and drivers seat - not when steering from left to right. The movement is between the steering wheel and the shaft.
How does the steering wheel come off?? I have tried to pry the cap off the center of the steering wheel with no success. I don't want to bend or scratch anything because I don't know how or where to apply force. My guess is that there is a nut to tighten under the chrome cap in the center of the steering wheel. Thanks for any help. Pictures:

there should be a semi-circular clip that holds the center 'button' on with the single nut underneath on a tapered shaft.
looks like it's trashed from here. you might just order a new helm and cut it off. |

Inside the rim of the center button you will find a c clip. It is a wire that is in a grove just inside the rim. After you remove it the center cap can be removed. From there you can unscrew the screws that hold the spokes on. Then get a wheeh puller and pull the hub Good luck

And if you still can't get that wheel off, call Dan, at either 704-663-2675 or 704-400-3116, as he JUST educated himself on pulling this same piece off of a '72 Mustang. And then please post some pictures of this rare black interior boat.
