This time, I was prepared.
Nice new clampsThis time, there was going to be a change.
Old wheelI sprayed the last of my can of pipe freeze onto the bolt. The Moss wheel puller was clamped into position – 4 heavy duty clamps this time, no mucking about.
Puller in position, part 2The moment of truth, I started to turn the puller bolt. Once, twice. Three times, a little more and… clunk. Nothing dramatic. No fireworks, explosions or mayhem. Just a dull, relaxed clunk. And the wheel was free. It took longer to undo the clamps.
And then just moments to put the new wheel on.
New wheelIf you want to change your steering wheel, you MUST get one of these pullers. You can borrow mine! After all the previous effort, this just makes it seem so easy.
And I love my new wheel.
LovelyIt’s a bit different to the usual Mota-Lita designs you see on other MGBs. It feels particularly 80s (which would be right), plus it does not obstruct the view of any of the dials. All of which makes me Well Chuffed of Whitstable.
Mota-Lita wheel: £36
Boss kit: £39.95
Total… £2,546.74
