For some reason though, I had problems with the bolts grabbing the wheel to pull it. They kept slipping out after several turns. Finally, I wrenched the bolts way down in and the old wheel popped off.<\/p>\n<p>While the wheel was off, I grabbed a sander and sanded the old steering collar and painted it black. After it was dry, I started to assemble everything with the new mounting kit. (The people that right up these diagrams need to be a little more detailed with left, right, up and down.) So, after everything was all assembled, I did a little spin test to see how it worked. It was binding up on the column and even scraped some paint off. So I pulled it all apart, repainted the scrapes\u00a0and grabbed a Dremel tool to trim the top down just a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Reassembly was easier the second time. As you can see the wheel and mounting kit worked out just fine. Getting dark soon, think I&#8217;ll take it for a spin tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-237\" title=\"Old Steering Wheel in Bel Air\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my55chevybelair.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-before-285x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-before-285x300.jpg 285w, http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-before.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-238\" title=\"New Steering Wheel in '55 Bel Air\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my55chevybelair.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-after-300x295.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-after-300x295.jpg 300w, http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/55-steering-wheel-after.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So with some more free \u00a0time on my weekend, I tackled the steering wheel replacement.\u00a0The pink late model Chevy steering wheel had to go.\u00a0The wooden steering wheel will look a whole lot better!\u00a0 I started by pulling the old wheel&#8230;<br \/><a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/?p=235\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,57,35],"tags":[119,124,122,123,118],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=235"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":267,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235\/revisions\/267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/my55chevybelair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
