Bogiediver,
Looks like there's shadows where the indention should be. Maybe scrape the area with a razor blade or dental pick and see if you can dig them out. Your steering wheels cracked, too. Bummer.

Yeah - that's why it's off...

Gonna try opening up and undercutting the cracks (several of them) using JB Stik (putty style JB Weld) to fill them in. Then sand carefully and paint with a satin epoxy.

I will go at it with a dental pick to see if those indents are hiding there somewhere, just to see if nothing else...

VwJoe, You are my hero!!!!!
Darn..that was easy with Your method. It sat hard but came loose in a couple of minutes.
And NO.. someone before me made the cracks using a worse method.

Glad I could help. To bad about the cracks. Jerking and jamming on a 80 year old steering wheel won't do it any good or the person doing it either.
Nice heavy duty puller too. Me likeeeee
