Nominal Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 Nice work one power steering leaks. Mine's terrible. For the steering wheel, can you center it up by adjusting the tie rod ends? I haven't had much luck with getting the steering wheel right, I just live with it being wonky. For the hubcaps, this gadget came with my new car, not sure if it's a home-made or commercial thing?

The steering wheel is half way off centre. but the wheel isnt flash and bits are all broken on it around the edge. so was going to fit an aftermarket smaller one. but suspect someone in the past has crossed threaded it on the splines. that tool may work but not sure how well. the one tortron put up looks like a much better tool on not damaging the paint.

cletus Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 I had the same problem with widened steel wheels and hubcaps, I ended up drilling a small hole in the side of the cap and made a wire hook that went in the hole to pull the cap off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 For the hook? I used a coat hanger wire from memory, small hook one end and a finger sized loop on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted September 10 Report Share Posted September 10 Nah I put the hole in the side of the cap so you couldnt see it If your cap doesnt have sides it would look shitty though. What about one of those neodymium magnets? I wonder if one of those would remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datlow Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 We have 25 Ish kg magnets at work pulling them apart is a mission if that’s a legit 112kg you’d probably dent the shit out of the hubcap trying to get it off chuck it in a sock etc so you can slide it off without damaging/denting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Have one, itl remove morrie hubcaps, held on by the 3 prongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXFORD Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Toilet plunger... Just make sure its a new one because I probably have shit on my hubcap now. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
