Steering wheel How to

[Bob M]

I need to take the steering wheel of my 1972 charger and don't know how to do this. I can't find any screws on the back of the wheel How do I get the front cover off so that I can get to the bolt that holds the steering wheel on the steering shaft.

What kind of wheel is it? Ya have a pic?

Bob, a pic would be helpful so we can see which wheel you are working with but the center cap should screw/pop off revealing the retaining nut you mentioned. After the nut is removed, you will need to use a puller as well.

SEM makes a pretty good paint for plastics.

SEM is good, but your best bet is to prepare it and take it to a local paint/body shop and have them put some good automotive finish on it.

The main thing you need to do is make sure the wheel is cleaned very well. SEM makes a plastic/vinyl cleaner that works good. If you're going to do it yourself, scuff the wheel with 320 wet or dry first, smooth out any dings or nicks while your at it, wipe down with the cleaner and spray away. Let me know if I can be of any help.
