Steering wheel is lose
How the heck do I get to the nut that tightens my steering wheel - I don't want to break my horn button - Do I just pull it off?

Re: Steering wheel is lose
the round horn buttons just push on with a rubber ring holding them in place...just carefully pry it off.

Re: Steering wheel is lose
The vast majority of members here are respectful of others, even when they seem to have very limited knowlege of these trucks.
There is at least one member who is sometimes rude, arrogant, condecending, and insulting. (aka: trolling) I have noticed this pattern, and others have as well. They have told me so. This troll apparently does not recognize this in himself. Here's a hint: it ain't me. ![]() Last edited by 63burban4x4; 12-24-2012 at 07:05 AM. |

Re: Steering wheel is lose
I am sure some of the confusing here is related to my explanation of the problem - I have a standard 1964 chevy C-10 - When I hold the steering wheel is exhibits some minor play up and down and side to side - I would like to know how to tighten the steering wheel and eliminate the play.

Re: Steering wheel is lose
the outer race can also be worn along with the inner surface, which if I can remember correctly is just steering shaft itself. it can have a groove worn in it. it doesn't take much to make it feel sloppy. there are a couple of ways to remedy as replacement parts are difficult to find and the outer race may be the problem. find a strg column with little or no slop in it. you can have the strg shaft wear built back up and machined. or one could try and find a supplier of loose ball bearings(they make them all sizes) that have them a few thou larger. you may find them in a bicycle shop but they are more than likely getting out dated there also.
