Early A-Body Steering Wheel Removal and Installation Step-by-Step with Pictures

Great Great write up Keith !
I guess I missed it. Did you recondition your wheel ?

I have been trying to put this wheel together for a while. Finding this wheel in decent condition is turning out to be pretty tough. So if anyone out there has one let me know. I also need the horn switch.

Anyways great wheel Keith, looks killer.

Yes, actually my dad did it for me as a birthday gift, I had the paint left over from when I painted my heater/radio delete plates and lock knobs. My original wheel wasn't bad on the outer rim, but pretty busted up at the base under the horn button (whole big pieces are actually loose). Mikes steering wheel is the same color as mine so he will be sending his to my dad (fabo member FISHYPETE) so it can be restored too. This was the first early-a wheel dad has done and it turned out great! :glasses7:

The last 3 pics are of my old wheel, the back parts are actually loose from the wheel, maybe it can be saved yet, see what dad can do. The wheel that was restored was one I got from a member here, it didn't have many cracks so it was a good core to start with.
