Removing Steering Wheel

[Ray Fox]

I have a '94 20' playbuoy pontoon that I am redecking.

I've been successful in removing everything except the console. I popped the center cover off, and took the bolt off, but am stumped. How do I proceed from there?

Re: Removing Steering Wheel

The wheel is a spline and taper fit or is keyed and taper fit. If the wheel doesn't have threaded holes for a wheel puller, simply pull the wheel toward you as hard as you can while someone taps the shaft (with the nut partly threaded on -- but not tight). That should jar it loose.

Silvertip's advice should be taken.

...remember the part about having the nut partially threaded on... if you forget.... you Will remember next time.

Gee, wish I had seen this thread before asking the same question!

I'll give it a wack!

Re: Removing Steering Wheel

Replaced my damaged helm last weekend and went with Silvertip's method. Worked like a charm. Once I figured how to get the teleflex cable out of the steering unit, the rest was easy.
