Removing Steering Wheel

In order to remove to ignition lock, I had to pull the steering wheel to get to it. I guess this marks the first job on my long long project.




Popped the horn cover off. When I did that the "Jeep" logo fell off of it. I guess some glue can fix that problem



Removed the main bolt and the three screws



Had to borrow my father in law's steering wheel puller to get this steering wheel off



After I pulled the steering wheel off I had to use a lock ring compressor (which I was able to borrow at Auto Zone)to remove the lock ring and get access to the turn signal switch. This turn signal switch broke on me when I was in high school, but when I used that lock ring compressor it crushed the turn signal switch and broke it some more. I was not that upset about it because I was planning on replacing it anyways.



Once I removed the screws holding down the turn signal switch I was finally able to get the ignition lock out of there. Now I guess I get to wait and see if I can sell it before I go out there and buy a new one.
