Hello to everybody, I have a defender 90 td5. I need to change the steering wheel, i unscrew the central bolt... but nothing, no way to extract the old one... i tryed to put son wd40 spray without result. Any good suggestion is apreciated! Best reguards, Lorenzo.
I found tapping around the edge from behind with a mallet, first on one edge then the other (180° apart), gradually moved it on the splines, took many light taps but worked in the end.
Thanks a lot Bob, i will try... Lorenzo.

My usual approach is undo the bolt, sit in the driver's seat, grab the wheel at "quarter to three" and rock it. I daresay one day I'll find one that's sufficiently stick that I bend the wheel before it comes loose.
If it's got an airbag, make sure you follow the rules for removing it...
