Steering shaft splines at steering wheel hub

[jonmorine]

I know this thread is a year old but I was going to remove my steering wheel to put a new one on and I am not seeing how the horn pad comes off.

I have the wheel removal kit so I should be good once I can actually see the nut. I have done it in a couple other cars but the pad would just pop off. This one doesn't seem to be the case unless I am just not pulling hard enough. It sounds like its ripping so I just want to be sure I am not busting the pad.

Anyone have any idea how this comes off?

If it is a stock steering wheel like this:



Grab it in the middle of the pad, push in and twist counter clockwise. Same thing for the smaller SSS wheel pad.

It is that wheel. Thanks for the answer.

The first time you might want to disconnect the battery or the horns. With little practice you can get the pad off quick enough not to bother.

HAHA. I figured that out when I was trying to get it off the first time.

Does anyone know if a steering wheel from a 240Z will fit a 510?

IT should fit just fine, but the little pins that cancel the blinkers are 90 degrees off, so you might have problems with that.....but it should bolt right on.
