Now that the car is back, I felt the need to go out there and do something, even if it is something small. Keeping in mind that I will be doing a lot of wiring under the dash, a removable steering wheel hub seemed like a good idea. My friend Tom had a NRG steering wheel hub on his 70 GTO and I really liked it.
I started by removing the horn button and removing the Momo steering wheel from the Momo hub.
Then I removed the nut that was holding the hub in place.
I had to use a 3 jaw puller to get the hub off the steering shaft.
This is the Momo adapter hub for a GM steering column. If anyone needs it, PM me.
This is the new NRG hub. None of these parts came with any instructions. I am not exactly sure why the hub has a ground wire on it...
This is the hub that bolts to the steering wheel and snaps on the receiver that is bolted to the steering shaft.
This is the finishd column with the receiver hub bolted to it.
To release the steering wheel from the column, the ring under the steering wheel is pulled back...
and the steering wheel comes off, along with the hub.
It will be a lot easier to work under the dash without the steering wheel in the way and it adds a small level of theft protection to the whole car.
