Removing steerng wheel post cap

September 04, 2012, 02:44:48 am

Its time to fix my air horn.
 I also have to tighten the telescoping steering wheel, it will move up or down even if the collar is turned to lock it ( not easily but it should lock better than it does).
I don't see any set screws that hold the cap on, and before I tried to "pop" it off I thought I would ask about doing it correctly.

I'm not mobile as I recover from Achilles tendon surgery, but I recall that the cap is held on with two screws that you access from behind the wheel.

Lon,
On my 2000 you will see a access hole underneath the cover and then an allen wrench can be inserted to remove the screw. I do not remember the size, getting old I guess.  The cover can then be taken off.

Thanks,

Lon, On my 95 U280 you use a real thin blade to pry up the center cap to get access to the nut that tightens up the slide mechanism for the wheel.

Gary I think yours is closest to mine. I went out to take a look tonight and saw no access holes in the wheel. I did see what you reported in the cap.
 I will try your advice this weekend.
