Bob, well, I never found what I know I have, but in the meantime, this should
do, CENTER NUT, and a delicate pry job.

For myself, I'm running something a little different...CTIS (Don't want it !),
Boost, Map, Methanol/H2O injection, Front/ Rear/ Both lock, ABS, Phasers on stun, and so on...
SO, I call my UNIMOG ALICE.....and so what !

Oh, And I did a shoot a couple of years ago with a Renault F1 car, with mainly Brits doing the tech...
And the Dang steering wheel was treated like a gold ingot... hidden away and only plugged in for the shot and then removed... they said the Wheel was worth about $220K....by itself ! The nut was extra...

Just what I was needing, that shot of using the little prying tool.
When I see a hi-tech item like that steering wheel, I wonder how they get the data from the wheel to the car. Either a significant flex cable, a slip-ring setup, or if they simply telemeter data across a fiber, etc. Any way they do it, it's one heck of an engineering challenge in a racecar environment.

Well, Often, since the steering is so extreme, with less than a full turn, lock-to-lock, a simple curly cord works, because there just isn't any chance to wind
it around the shaft.
The F-1 guys...well that is a good question.

Oh, and the wheels cost about $25K each and don't USE a NUT, So I was
fumble-fingered and off by a factor of 10, which could be applied to the whole evening...

OT: One thing I have never understood: The Brits seem to know how to build a race car. Why do they have legendary poor electronics i.e Lucas Prince of Darkness/ Gentlemen shall not motor about at night etc. Is this a cheap shot? Anything we have ever owned British spent more time in the shop than most vehicles we owned.
AN OLD SLAM :
Q : How come the English never made many TV's ?
A : They could not figure out how to make them leak oil .
Yesh. well, unfair, and just an old joke,
But if you take a good look at motorsports around the world, you'll likely see Brits right in the middle of it, including Off-Road and Rallye / Raid , let alone F-1, Endurance racing, ALMS and the rest of the lot.

Why do the British like warm beer?
Because they have lucas refrigerators.
I had a Land Rover defender so I get to say that.
