im replacing my turn signal assembly and have got my wheel off and everything, but theres this metal collar which is disabling me from continuing on. I cant, for the life of me, figure out how to get it off.

thanks

The turn signal assembly is cake to remove...you take off the steering wheel and then remove a few screws, I'm not sure what approach you are taking but it seems as if you are over complicating it.

You removed part of the steering column? All you had to do was take the center piece out of the steering wheel, undo the bolt, and pull the steering wheel off. After that the collar is just held on by screws.

ahh what!?1

my steering wheel wont come off. I took the horn off, which i dont think i needed to do.. there was a bolt with a nut on it, i took that nut off but the steering wheel still wont come off.

why didn't you just get a steering wheel puller?

 

[Im Chris Brown]

because i had no clue i needed one

surrously though, whats the next step?

Put it back together, then take the wheel off using a puller....

Like many have stated, there are a few screws that hold it on.

 

[Im Chris Brown]

pullers the only way to get it off?

because i dont have one.. i guess i'll be putting it back together and taking it to the shop to use their puller. guh.

=/
thanks

you should be able to rent a puller at a auto parts place like autozone or advanced auto. you just basically buy it for its cost and when you bring it back, they refund you as long as everything is there

 

[Zumtizzle]

buy a puller!

also pinging camshaft? you how you can reshim the whole valve train...........

Put theassembly back together and grab the wheel at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock and pull moving slightly back and forth (not to much).

Be careful it'll come off all at once and it's easy to hit yourself in the face with it.

yeah, once the center nut is removed, you should be able to shake the wheel and pull at the same time. but put it back together first.
use a paint pen to mark where the wheel lines up on the splines so you don't put it on crooked.

ohh so i can do it without a puller!

My friends got a shop and they said they'd do it but i got bored yesterday and didnt want to wait on them so i tried to do it myself.

I've got the assembly back in and the 2 back plastic pieces on.. I think i may go try and willie-nillie it out of there so i can smash this out today.

the car pings/knocks at around 2,500rpm. they said its in the cam shaft and they're going to open it up.....sometime.
guh.
