I've tried twice unsuccessfully to pull my steering wheel (to fix the horn ring) with a puller.....the first time mangling the end of the shaft so bad I barely had enough thread to get the nut back on after dremeling off the part I messed up. When I eventually revisit this repair I'm thinking of a new steering wheel to go with my new (to me) shaft. I'm not sure of the diameter of the original (son has the car at work) but I was wondering if a slightly smaller diameter wheel was available (I have recaros and they sit slightly higher putting the edge of the wheel closer to the drivers legs) for these cars or maybe I should consider one with a flat bottom.
Are there only certain brands of wheels available for these cars....? I know I need a hub for an Opel but do wheel brands only work with their hubs? I saw some 13" steering wheels in a Z car catalog for a reasonable price ($125) but the hub issue confuses me.
Any help appreciated.
