Banjo Steering Wheel - why are they sought after?

I see its a sedan you can do as suggested, it may come through the rear door ,the rod can take a little bending but not much ,a 35 wheel has straight spokes.you need a puller to remove it .loosen of all your bolts on the box maybe replace the top one with a longer one to aid in reassembly.I do have pictorial of how to repair the rim involving silicone rubber on photo bucket, if I can get into it , Ted
