R32 Gtr Sterring Wheel

[jinkhai]

hey there i m wondering how to take out the stock r32 sterring wheel since i've bought the new boss kit and aftermarket sterring wheel. i've take out the middle nut but it's like stuck on it and can't take it out any idea for it?

cheers

Put the nut back on a few threads, cos when it comes off, your going to have two black eyes. Grab a mallet and hit the wheel around the edge to knock it out. You'll know when it comes off cos the nut will stop it from flying off. Do a search to find a more detailed decription. Just make sure you wheels are straight, otherwise you'll have a crooked wheel, and thats not good. Trust me, I know . And make sure ur new boss kit has HICAS, otherwise you'll have no steering. Good luck!

+1 on the hicas part, i bought two, one non hicas (i thought it would work perfectly) then i bought a hicas one. so much better with the hicas one.

Whyte has an awesome write up on NS.com give it a try, its not that hard.

goodluck champ.

i found that it's kinda hard to knock the sterring out.. its like stick on it lol

[jinkhai]

oh well i've taken it out, but the new one doesn't looks straight while i was driving. is that the alignment problem?

thats the fun part, doing 200000000milion happy laps to get it straight, what you do is put the steering wheel on the boss kit, and then put it to where you think will be straight (leave the horn button off) and then just put the main nut back on just so its not loose (not tight) then try and drive straight, take it off and adjust accordingly, took me a few goes to get it right. once its right tighten the boss kit on, then take just the wheel off put your horn button in and put it all back together. done.

goodluck, issa.

thanks mate, but the boss kit is like glue on it lol.. i cant take it out

Mate, why didnt u tell me this BEFORE I put it on!! My boss kit is stuck on, and I cant take it off! And I'm not going to hit my new MOMO steering wheel with a hammer!!

Try getting a bearing puller. Thats what I'm going to try and do. Hopefully it works!

[jinkhai]

yay i did it

[dori34]

^ wanna sell your standard GTR wheel if its in good condition mate?

[NA_Goodness]

Hey jinkhai, how did you do it? I'm desperate to straighten my wheel, it is really annoying me!

[jinkhai]

just use something to knock out the sterring that lock on the boss kit , loose the main nut not taken it out for just incase if the sterring drop off suddenly. i don't have mallet so i just use my sterring lock to do it haha.

and it works!!

lol, i posted as soon as i saw it. glue on the boss kit??? its just on there tight, i doubt its glued. if its good quality it wont get wrecked if you whack it a few times lol. just wrap a towel around a clublock or something and hit it a few good times to loosen up the boss kit, butt it off (with the wheel still attached, guesstimate it then put it back on and just so nut is on there and you cant pull it off, not tight untill you get it right.

the main thing is not about damaging the steering wheel, but its about not stuffing the teeth on the boss kit or the steering coloumn.

[dori34]

^ if you damage the teeth on the steering column then thast where the real dramas come alive.. so be careful!!

[NA_Goodness]

Who said glue?

I got it off today, I loosened off the nut, but kept the wheel on, and just started to pull it from side to side, took about 5 mins and it came off. Now its on straight, the horn works, and everything is fine!! So glad I've fixed it, the unstraight wheel was embarrising, and the lack of a horn was just annoying!!
