OK, I HAVE THE AIR BAG OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, I AM TRYING TO PUT ON A NEW CUSTOM WHEEL AND HUB.

I CANT GET THE STOCK WHEEL OFF BECAUSE THEY DONT SELL THE WHEEL PULLER TO THE PUBLIC, WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THE WHEEL OFF? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

OK, so after it pops off, i was told that i might have to trim 1/4 of the shaft off?? or is it just the plastic on the back cover?

I GOT THE WHEEL OFF, NOW IM LOOKING AT THE HUB AND IT DOSENT FIT ON THE DAMN FORD STEERING SHAFT. OR WHAT I MEAN IS IT FITS ON THE STEERING SHAFT, BUT THE ELECTRONICS DONT FIT IN THE HUB THAT THEY GAVE ME.

DID ANY ONE HAVE TO BREAK THE CONNECTORS OFF AND MAKE THEM WORK?

I figured it out, i took a file and filed down the flat spots on the hub, it fit really tight.

if any one has any questions please e-mail me. pics will be up soon.
