it may be stuck on a fair bit unfortunately.. try and lube it with WD40 in there.. and try jiggling back and forth with small motions.

Otherwise what I would be doing (and I often take the dodgy brutal approach) is to drop the steering column as far as possible, get a bar behind it to sit facing the front (this is for my last one, it had a sort of frame structure).. and bash behind using a hammer.. small taps might be enough.

Yes, there is a sticker in there usually that says "do not use force", it may damage your steering, etc. But it never has on the last car.

once u unscrew the centre bolt (dont unscrew completely, leave it sitting there, just wind back a few times), then re-attach your momo steering wheel.

then start yanking. leaving the centre bolt on will ensure that when you finally yank it off the steering wheel won't hit you in the face.

also spraying WD40 at the centre nut may help a bit. when yanking back the whole steering wheel just becareful not to hurt your back, i hurt my back a bit due to pulling back too hard, but maybe i'm just getting old...

Never met a steering wheel I couldn't remove by anything other than gentle side-to-side jiggling of the wheel.

The R32s have reach, as well as height, adjustment of the steering column - are the R33s the same?

Take off steering wheel..

Now, undo center bolt, or as suggested undo it until its nearly at the end of its thread so it prevents you knocking yourself out (unless that sounds fun to you).

Now put the steering wheel *back* onto the boss, putting back the screws that attach it so its as it was (just with the center nut loose)

Now using the wheel as a kind of puller itself just keep yanking it forward, jiggling it, etc - and eventually it should pop off.. once you've got it loose, take off the steering wheel again, remove center nut, remove boss, and away you go.

It went on, it has to come off!!

Have you put the wheel back onto the boss?

Grab the wheel at "quarter to three", now jiggle back and forth while pulling towards you. Otherwise, PM me where you are, I'll try and get around to help you.

Just had a thought - how are you "jiggling" the wheel? If it's like you're steering the car, then the wheel is never going to come off. You need to jiggle back and forth along the axis of the steering column, ie pull up on one edge and push down on the other, then reverse that, all the while generally pulling the wheel towards you.

Clear as mud? Good!

You need to undo the nut, but as the others said, leave the nut on a tad. Leave the steering wheel on with all hex bolts still connected to the boss kit.

Ball you hands up into fists and bash with the outer part of the steering wheel really quickly with both hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, making it vibrate. You need to loosen the bond between the spline of the column shaft and the boss kit.

Then go ahead and try and reef/wiggle the steering wheel off. This is an assured way of removing the steering wheel!

    • 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.
