Sounds good. I assume once I pull the steering wheel it will be right thereUpper bearing?
not hard to disassemble to check.
Yes the whole steering wheel lifts slightly up m/down it looks like it’s the innermost steering shaft so it must be a bearing. Those two bolts are tightI've had to tighten those 2 bolts on mine a couple of times over the years. I'm assuming you've checked that though, huh? When they are loose they let the whole steering wheel slightly lift up and down.
the outer shaft is firm and in place it is the inner shaft in the picture that moves up and downYour tight or my tight??? I tend to apply gorilla tightness to everything....not good.
Took me a few years to learn that...lol.A little lock tight cures that.
the outer shaft is firm and in place
So I got the wheel off but now I need to get this other piece off and I’m not sure if this is the part that requires a puller?Jamesmcga,
The 3 outside bolts just connect the hub to the steering wheel
The center one may need a impact wrench to loosen
Then you can use the other 3 with a puller if the hub is on there too tight to jut pull off by hand
You need to make sure the hub is not the looseness anyway, so it's good that the guy torqued the crap out of it
35 lbs is the torque spec on the 15mm steering wheel bolt
Yes, a steering wheel puller could be used, I would bolt the steering wheel back on, screw the center bolt in about half way then as you pull on the wheel with both hands at like 3-9 or 12-6 o'clock have someone tap on the center bolt, when it 'pops' you should be able to unscrew the center bolt and lift the wheel off.So I got the wheel off but now I need to get this other piece off and I’m not sure if this is the part that requires a puller?
