i got an old s13 wheel trying to put it in mine.....i figured how to get the wheel off but its just stuck.....anyone got some advice to pull it out? i did a swap on my suibaru and it came off, a lil work but it came off.....this nissan is being very stubborn......i see two holes on either side of the center, maybe two bolts to screw and help pop off? anyone know the size?

does pep boys loan out a lot of tools for free? i thought schucks did too...apparently not, and not at a low cost either.

so this is how u should get a wheel off? then would a hub just fit on there after...might be getting a hub/detachable wheel

You know I had to pull my alarm so I decided to pull the steering wheel to make thigs easier.I just straightened out the wheel, tugged, and it didn't come out. So I Pulled at hard tugs with a little upwards force.

EDit: It was just one k/nut in the center.

i just pulled off the stock wheel and slid on my wheel and hub and tightened the nut down.... just make shure its all straight first.
