Question New steering wheel install question.

Im thinking about getting a slightly smaller diameter steering wheel for my 68 f100. I have never switched one out before. Anything I need to know Any special tools, potential issues etc?

Trucks already pretty far from stock so Im not worried about keeping it original or anything like that.

Beg, borrow or steal (just kidding) a steering wheel puller. It'll be quieter if you disconnect the battery first...

Aww, just took all the fun of him trying to get the horn to shut off Darrell!!LOL!


Like Darrell said, get yourself a steering wheel puller. Some parts stores will loan tools, so check into that if you don't want to buy one!

Also, I think the horn button needs a special push-and-twist to get it off, iirc...
