moosens Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Trudy,the screws are from the windshield side of the steering wheel.Should be two Philips screws. Correction,I think it's only ONE screw on the driver's side. If you have a 4 spoke wheel you have to hold the wheel and turn the pad clockwise about a half inch or less to disengage the pad.

Twowagons Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hey Paul, (Moosens to the rescue again)well I finaly got it off but for everyone else who has trouble I can tell you that the 4 spoke wheels do not have screws but you have to turn the horn pad counter-clockwise 1/4 inch and then pull like hell and it will come off. Thanks so much Paul I would have never figured that out. Now if I could just get the wheel itself off!!!!! (will borrow a puller LOL) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've never needed a puller yet and I've yanked many steering wheels off of Subarus.Give it a shot first.Lots of short tugs instead of trying to force it in one big tug. Sometimes a tiny bit of side to side movement helps as you pull it towards you. Geez,I could swear it was clockwise,but then again I'm a little backwards sometimes. Happy to help.

Twowagons Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Got the steering wheel off without the puller. The trick is to rock back and forth GENTLY. I was trying to pull like hell which didn't do anything but hurt my shoulders !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
