i've tried to find FAQ on forums/google.

i've tried everything that i could. ended up with nothing.

 

maybe it is broke

 

i'll be pissed.

hahaa.

but brand new.

i can feel it move and click, but it wont twist off.

 

maybe you need more leverage.. like if it was on the car and then press the button and turn?

 

i tried sticking two metal rods in there to get leverage and i had my brother hold it while i turn the wheel, but nothing.

 

it is easier when you have it mounted. The release is based off the FET design.

push the button, twist the base (gray piece in pic 1...pull the steering side .

the thing is.... i cannot mount the momo hub to the quick release without detaching the quick release.

reason why i need to detach it now is so i can attach the hub to the release.

 

lmao......... !

 

haha this is funny sorry... but scary too because i just bought one!

hope you figure it out dude!

if going by picture 2, push the release button, turn the base clockwise while turning the steering wheel counter clockwise and pull steering wheel off. it is not that difficult.

 

I say take it off and replace it with a regular quick release. Those things have play and are garbage as far as I'm concerned. Good luck with it either way though.....

 

Your steering wheel bolts might be too long, I ran into this with mine. Loosen them up a little and see if it unlocks...

Mine had play in it too, even before it cracked and became a $80 paperweight

i want a thin QR though.

 

hey perfect timing. How does the Thin QR compare with a Slim Hub? Is it closer to OEM? or Really close to the dash?

 

FET &gt; NRG ****

well of course, but FET is discontinued and i couldnt find any.

so i messed around with the QR for a little bit. where the button is, theres an allen screw. i loosened that and the button along with a spring shot out. after that happened, i was able to detach the fu*king QR. now after evaluating the button, i found that the button and spring were fu*king useless. it did nothing but blocked the QR from detaching. so uh... yeah....

 

ok!

so i messed with it even more, and FINALLY got it to work. it seemed to me like the button had a slight failure before i unscrewed the allen screw. now it works....

thanks to those who helped.

also, its my birthday today.
march 10.

yay me.

hahaa.

FET has discontinued both their version 1 and 2 b/c it failed and fell apart.
