Fixing up what the previous owner didn't do right. They installed a sparco steering wheel on who knows what hub. The hub looks and feels like junk. It wiggles around a little bit which is why i want to fix it. They also did not connect the horn and the turn signals are kinda off. Left doesn't stay on, right stays on. So my question is, how did i get the thing off. I don't think it has lock tight on it cause it wiggles around. Any ideas???

I'm guessing you tried rocking it back and forth while pulling?

Yes twisting, pulling, together. Everything besides tools cause I don't want to destroy it if I can.

Was there a 19mm nut on it? That's usually all that holds it on besides just being stuck.

Yeah I took that off no problem. That's why I was confused to why it wasn't coming off, especially since it already wiggles a little. When I get home from work I'll try smacking it loose with a hammer.

You can always try a jaw puller or a steering wheel puller.

Bolt a steering wheel back onto it to use as leverage.

Bolting the steering wheel back on is what got it off. Thanks for the help everyone
