TR6 New Steering Wheel

Swapped steering wheels. I ordered a new wheel about a month ago but had to put it on hold because the OEM Contact Pencil would not fit the new boss. Contact Pencil arrived this morning. Took about 15 minutes to swap.
Tips:
1 - Leave nut on the end of spline until wheel is loose so you don't pop yourself in the face. Luckily mine came off without too much effort. Didn't need a puller.
2 - Before taking OEM wheel off, mark TDC on the spline with a sharpie.
3 - Test drive before attaching the horn button to ensure wheel alignment.

That's a nice one. There is something satisfying when you improve the user interface such as steering wheel or gauges

I have always found the best way to remove a steering wheel, even the most stubborn,
is to loosen the nut a couple of threads, then using alternate left right palms, hammer down on the rim left right left right repeatedly
and off she will pop, I have never use a puller in all my life,
better to shake it off,
