Any tips by somebody who has removed the factory wheel?

Usually its remove the main nut and bash job until it comes off the spline... but this one seems particularly stuborn.

Is there anything I can remove or do to make it easier?? Tried soaking in WD40.

You can use a gear puller to remove it, just use 2 screws on the steering .

If you dont have one undo the main nut a few turns and leave the nut on then try pulling on it or bash it genly from the back with a rubber hammer.

Before you take it out make sure the steering is centred and mark it with permanent marker ( the shaft and the steering ) so you can put it back in the same spot ..

I did mine a while back and twas a bitch if I can remember correctly...Just hit the very outsids of the wheel all the way around until it loosens, then try and pull it off while wiggling. I think it took me a while.

Also there was no ground connection for my new steering wheel becasue the stanard wheels plug has both connectors in 1, so I just coiled the ground cable around inside the BOSS kit and its leaning on the metal and somehow its worked since :P

got it off this morning.. the WD40 I think helped..

Just very quick wiggles, whilst pulling hard.. Helps when the steering wheel is 'locked' in position.

I marked it all to ensure it goes on properly afterwards without messing up the hicas, etc.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
