my momo hub steering hub wont come off... its a 97 civic part # 4920 .. it is stuck i dunno what to do

Ritchie

You can go to Autozone and rent a steering wheel puller. I had trouble pulling my momo hub that was stuck, but it came right off when I rented that puller. It is easy and fast

will that steering wheel puller work with a nardi wheel? i already have a quick release on but im using a whole new unit

Ritchie

It should, but not quite sure. My momo steerin wheel was off when I used the steering wheel holder. Best bet is to take out your wheel first in order to take the hub off.

haha you dont even want to see what the steering wheel puller did to my hubb ahaha but ya i got it off with a gear puller and i aligned the NRG unit and **** so im all good now but if you want to see a picture ill post it in here haha

Murk 'EM

iv heard bad things about the momo hubs, lets see what happend

Ritchie

The steering wheel puller messed up your hub? This I have to see..

loosen the 19mm nut in the center, but dont remove it

then put the steering wheel back onto the hub, and wiggle the steering wheel while pulling, it should eventually come off

the reason you keep the 19mm nut is so if it flies off, it doesn't smack you in the face

You can also put the point of a philip's head in the hole on the steering column and beat it with a hammer. That helps loosen it.

trust me i tried everything before i posted this thread except the wheel puller... that seemed to be the remedy but just look what the wheel puller did to the hub haha .. it took a gear puller with like 4 legs to finally get it out and even with that we struggled...

i did soemthing similar to that .. again no use

here are the pictures

Ritchie

Woah, that's something right there. When I took my hub off, it was still the same. The puller didn't even stretch the metal.

robble36

ya its because it was sooo tight and stuck on there the wheel puller couldnt get it and i was torquing it soo much it stretched the metall haaha we had to use a gear puller and we torqued the crap out of that too and it finally popped off .. before i installed my new hub i used WD40 on the splines so it can be somewhat lubed in the future for when i have to remove it again for some reason hah

Ritchie

Yeah, I put some grease around the spline for future removal and such
