MK1 Dah Problems

[thedjse]

Hi guys i have been trying to get the mk1 dash out as i want a mk2 dash in

The problem is i cant even get the steering wheel off!!!

The Haynes says use a 3 legged tool (WTF is a 3 legged tool)

Any suggestions on how to get the dash off???

pop the horn off and un-tighen the bolt dont remove it, then wiggle and pull it there was a thread somwhere on here....

[blue_peg_16v]

the tool can be bought for aloung a tenner it has to legs wich go through the holes in the bottom of the wheel and then has a bolt which you tighten and the wheel pops off

Draper supplie a Vauxhall Steering wheel puller. It has 2 legs on either side and a tapered Bolt that pushes the centre of the steering wheel, the steering colume, in as the legs pull the steering wheel upwards. Its trick.

you can make one with a bit of ms plate and 2 8mm bolts.

Be gentle with it.

Using brute force will make it harder.
