February 3, 201214 yr comment_581971 hi guys, The previous owner of my ke30 was extremely fat so he installed a boss detachable steering wheel, the hub is loose and is griding away I'm just after a new kit, not detachable just a hub n wheel but I'm unsure where to purchase the correct replacement hub and possibly wheel...I'm literally lost as to where to get one cheers for help Report
February 3, 201214 yr comment_581972 eBay. Repco. any car shop. You may find it just needs to be tightened. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TOYOTA-TA22-TA23-KE30-KE70-AT132-BOSS-KIT-STEERING-HUB-/260945084702?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc18a011e Edited February 3, 201214 yr by B.L.Z.BUB Report
February 3, 201214 yr Author comment_581976 ok cheers, how do i tighten it, i have bearly dismantled it to check as i don't wanna make it worse being my only car? Report
February 3, 201214 yr comment_581977 I wouldn't buy an ebay boss kit, They're not much more than that to buy one instore. I had an ebay one on my old ke70 when i bought it and it was trashed. May have just been poorly fitted, don't know, but after seeing that i wouldn't touch one. They're roughly 40-50 from autobarn or spg (in tassie) But yeah, it could just be loose, un-do the 6 bolts holding the wheel to the boss kit and there will be one large nut, just check that's properly tighetened and bolt the wheel back on.

February 3, 201214 yr comment_581978 6 allen key screws on the wheel around the hub. Under the wheel there will be a nut. You may be able to pop the horn button out to get to the nut. Where is it grindy? Is it loose? It could just be rubbing. Report
February 3, 201214 yr Author comment_581981 ok, yeah well i am a bit sceptical of buying specific car items off the net, I'm in perth so i guess autobahn here would stock, ill fiddle with it beforehand, thanks guys Report
February 3, 201214 yr Author comment_581985 well origanlly, the horn wire was rubbing inside, eventually the horn was stuck on when it ripped through the wire insulation, so i disconnected it, after then it got loose and grindy, at the back of the hub where it is suposed to clamp to Report
February 3, 201214 yr comment_581986 I'd pull the whole thing off. Unbolt it all. Clean it. Rewire it. Might have just been a half assed job. Report
February 3, 201214 yr Author comment_581988 yes, well the bloke i baught it off was very ill, he couldnt finish off the work he was going to do on it on a count he could of died any minute so he flogged it to me with some generous free extras Report
