SakoTGrimes Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Well, taking off the GLs wheel is pretty easy. You will see 2 screw holes on the back of the wheel assembly that are kinda hard to get at with a screwdriver, but it doesn't matter because they have some stupid little plastic nubs instead of screws. I broke those off, then just pulled off the horn button, revealing a big nut (17mm i think) unscrew that and the wheel comes right off.

NoahDL88 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I don't know about EA-81's but on the EA-82's the DL and GL horn circuit is different, and the connectors don't match up, its an easy fix, but its not straight bolt in.

Phizinza Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I use a small 320mm wheel on my brat without power steering. Its lighter then the 2001 ford festiva hatchback I learnt to drive in (also had no power steering) I don't think theres a whole load of difference on how hard it is to steer. What is a "GT" steering wheel? Pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 It occurs to me that i read your post wrong. To get an aftermarket wheel on, you will have to get the adapter hub to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
