Default How to realign steering wheel?

I was stupid enough to replace the steering wheel without marking its position. Now I can't get the steering wheel to lign up correctly. I've taken the steering wheel off at least 20 times to readjust, but it keeps on going over or under.

Is there an easier and correct way to do this or am I pretty much screwed?

you can disconnect it from where it connects to the rack under the dash and move it to the "correct" position.

I have the same problem except I have a stock 89 Prelude steering wheel I picked up that is off to the right or left by one notch. It's weird that it will not line up straight like the stock steering wheel does.

Thanks,
Jack

having done this to both my CRX's I can tell you that if your wheel is only off like and inch or so it's gonna be pretty hard to get it exactly straight. its usually gonna be a little right or a little left. I think the only way to get it almost dead on is to adjust the wheel to perfectly straight and then adjust your tie rods to make your wheels straight. they should do this with an alignment, but they rarely get it right.
