But, if you then fit a different wheel, it doesn't work!

Do not fret it is really easy to make a steering wheel puller, took maybe 20 mins, I did it on Saturday, worked a treat.

Smart Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Thanks, the leather feels really good in your hands. I went for the same diameter as standard, which being more slimline means you can see more of the dash. The only little quirk is that the full beam to dipped beam lever is a bit of a stretch (finger tips) I will bend the arm a little later on today... Very Happy

How did you get on with bending the stalks? I fitted a Momo wheel recently and I've developed the stretched finger technique to operate the stalks, not a major problem but if bending the stalks without causing an issue is easy then it's worth doing. Thumbs Up 90 XS

Really like the mota-lita wheel. The only bit I dont,t is the gap created by the need for a boss(on all aftermarket wheels). Like DieselJjims solution, just need a workshop and welder. RDX do a slimline boss, although this still looks big to me. Dose anyone know of real slimline boss, that looks more OEM ?
