ok i have a momo steering wheel and momo hub on my 96 civic, i had the fake fet quick release (ebay one) and it broke so i bought the real one, but its really stiff when trying to lock it in place or remove it, i have to use all my strength to get it to release, am i doing something wrong? is this not compatible with my momo wheel? i know most peeps use nardi wheels with these things...

 

it gets looser over time. just gotta keep using it, chief.

 

its crazy stiff though, i cant even get it to turn all the way to lock, and im not a little girly man either.

 

maybe thats a sign that you need to work out more :D iunno, wd-40?

 

na man for real im fairly strong, its supposed to slide like sex + lube but this feels like sex with sand. any fet owners on here come on i know there a few...

 

up for more advice...

is it on the car? mine was really hard to get on and off when it wasn't installed, but when it's stationary on the steering column it's alot easier, and it's supposed to have lube on it too

 

yes, it was on the car, are you using yours with a momo wheel?

nope, 5zigen wheel, sounds like it just needs lube

 

i wish it was that simple, all the lube in the world cant help this, i need to lock the wheel and use 2 hands to tighten it! and i still cant tighten it all the way and i really did muscle it too.

 

holiday bump

 

i had that problem, just put a little grease... and take it on and off everyday, it'll loosen up over time.. mine got better over time.. good luck

 

update for archive purposes: problem solved, it was the wiring inside gettin caught on the 2 halves, i removed all the wiring and it works perfect now!
