Default Ford Steering Wheel

Hi James,

Here is a breakdown of the steering arrangement. Looks like just the nut and a key and keyway for the wheel. Dremel tool to cut the nut?

cheers

Mike in Windsor.....it's sunny today

It is held by a nut on a spline and keyway. As Mike suggested cut the remains of the nut off using a dremel or similar being careful not to damage the thread at the top of the steering shaft then belt sh*t out of it with a block of wood and a big hammer.

Cliff,

Surely you mean "gently persuade it"
