Hey everyone,

 

I tried to remove my steering wheel because i have new indicator and lights switches but the screws are really tight and now they are mashed and i don't know what to do!!!! eek!

 

Anyone got any ideas for getting the screws out?

What do you have?? AE or KE?? AE centers just pop off. KE centers are screwed on from behind.

Or is it the actual wheel??

This may sound like a stupid question but were you screwing them the right way??

Because sometimes it can be confusing if the screws are facing towards you. eg the ones at the back of a steering wheel.

ke 55 so the screws are on the back. and yeh i was going the right way. lefty loosey righty tighty :lolcry:

i have found that if you give them a little tap then tighten them up 1st then undo them it usually works if not then just get out the drill and take the edge of the head to relieve some pressure on the screw

They just wont budge ay. Tried again with that method but the thread is gone and the screwdriver wont even catch on at all now... i think i will have to get out the power tools haha! gonna grab myself a new steering wheel anyway so when i get that i reckon ill just chop that sh!t off!

well if your putting a new steering wheel on it grab a chisel and belt the hell outta the screw heads with the chisel will take time but be paitent it will pay off if, you get angry get a bigger hammer and a biger chisel it is only bound to get it off

this is the steering wheel i want to buy

do you know if that boss kit suits ke 55?

yerr it will fit...

i don't actually know much about the older rolla's man but i do know that auto bahn or some1 like that will have or be able to get in a boss kit for like 90 bucks aye

 

that wheels is cool man so even more of an excuse to belt shit with a hammer lol, as i said if your replacing the wheels anyway then get the chisel and hammer out and take the head off the screw!!

Dude, its just a KE55 steering wheel. Just grab the top cover and rip it off.

If you think getting the cover off, wait until you have to remove the actual steering wheel.

 

Oh and the damage has most likew already been done but you should have sprayed some wd40 onto the screws. And using a power tool at this stage most likely would have rounded the head off further.

try hitting the screw head flat and like mr ae71 said use some wd40 and start again.

have you tried it with small vice grips??

get a flat head screw driver that fits along the screw and hit it with a hammer so it wedges in and undo
