I was going to put on a new steering wheel using the momo hub. Has anyone done this, do I need any special tools to get the old wheel off, anything I need to know before I start? Also what did you do with your horn? thanks This is on a 89 crx si

 

I just put a Momo wheel on yesterday. All you need is a 1/2" ratchet, 6" extension, 19mm socket and a flat head screw driver to pry off the H emblem. The wheel should come with the horn button and it hooks right up to the hub.

 

what exactly is this hub adapter? pics would be nice too. thanks

 

It allows you to use an aftermarket steering wheel. kinda like an adapter.

 

i've got the MOMO Race (350mm) steering wheel. I'm not sure 19mm is right b/c when i took off my bolt, it was 3/4 inch. Maybe they're close enough to both work. The steering wheel is expensive; others might say to invest in something else, but i beg to differ for 2 reasons. 1) It completely changes the look of your interior (in a good way), and 2) It makes driving easier with more pleasure (especially w/ no power steering on the CRX!). Only problem is that it is relatively easy to steal. Also, when you actually install the sucker, it is a bit of a task to make it straight (at least I had problems with it). My words: if you got the $250 to drop on it, go for it.

 

I got the Race wheel too. It's a really nice wheel, I would recomend it. I'm positive it's a 19mm bolt. When you take off the stock wheel just make sure you line it up totally straight first. Then just stick on the new wheel.

 

I got the Momo Shuttle 320 mm from R1020 on the boards, and got my adapter for $42 US from this place in Canada (best I found, good service!).

But I have not put it on yet.

The 320mm might obscure the gauges a little, but steering response will be better, and my 6'-1" body will be able to heel/toe better!!

 

im guessing that hub adapter bolts where the stock wheel goes and the aftermarket stering wheel bolts to the hub adapter, rite? thanks

 

yup, w/ 6 little allen screws. It's really simple to swap steering wheels.

I got a used momo wheel (combat?) for $50 and the adapter from a friend.. but I still need to find a nice horn button. anyone got one? The only ones I can find are the gaudy momo ones.

also, the nut is 19mm, for doubters. but 3/4" = 19.05mm though.. (1" = 2.54cm)

I use my lug nut wrench to take off the steering wheel.
