Topic: 67 steering wheel center hub

[Crgjohnson]

Is there a method to installing a new plastic chrome ring on the center hub of a standard interior steering wheel? I tried heating the hub with a heat gun but still couldn't get the ring to slide down

Thanks,

Steam heat and some dish soap usually works if the pad is not too sun baked.

Thanks. I'll give that a try

I did see they made a metal version. While not correct, I can’t see them breaking or fading. I doubt you are installing an NOS version. Just an FYI.

I used a little vinyl protectant as a lube on mine.  Worked like a charm.
