Default Re: changing steering wheel tips needed

Pepsi Mechanic - I am glad you made the post. I too am about to exchange steering wheels on my '31 Coupe, and am always looking for tips on how to make the job easier. The last one I did was about twenty years ago and us old guys often time forget some of the esoteric nuisances of the job. So it is with interest that I continue to watch the responses to your thread.

My steering wheel swap will take place in my late '31 Dlx. Coupe, with the roll-down rear window. I am hoping that with the rear window opened, that the job will be easier. Perhaps not as easy as doing it on my open car (no restrictions there) but my hope is that it may save me from having to pull the steering gear box off the frame.

Has anyone with a roll-down window swapped steering wheels ? If so, after you give your hints to Pepsi Mechanic, perhaps you can throw me a P.M. Or share your insights with other Wheel Swappers on this open forum.
