Hey Guys
Well I’ve got the steering wheel off the M925 five ton O.K. even with the truck sitting up in Maine for five years with the cab cover off. It took a little bit at first then she finally gave a “ POP “ and came right off.
Now it time to install the new one………Oh boy…..!!.....I didn’t know there was this five hundred pound spring underneath that needs to be compressed before you even get close to the splines on the steering wheel never mind the threads for the nut. I did notice that the inner column had a little up and down play that I might make up for if I push up on from underneath at the U joint. But still didn’t have enough to get a couple of threads started………..
The military has a good puller but how about a good installing tool……?? There must be some sort of trick to getting this steering wheel back on……??
Any ideas or tricks of the trade guys……..??
Thanks,
C’dub
