removing 4.3 steering wheel - possible quick release boss

Usually sticks when re-fitted (as seems the case) methods of release? (need access to pedal area to remove clutch cylinder internals for servicing)

Due to arthritis restricting car entry, what affordable quick release hub options are there, that dont bring wheel away from stalks too much?

thanks

If you have the standard steering wheel just undo the 6 small fixing bolts no need to take the boss off the column.

If you want to remove the boss as well I made a puller:

Aha, Paul...we meet!

I was the chap bowled over by your website and sent u a message starting 'Wow!'

Thanks v. much, yes I have that option as back-up thanks, very detailed as always

Re. replacing fuel lines etc, I have got as far as - tank, pump and cannister filter out. Tomorrow, stripping tank of internal filter and level sensor so we can wash out the few bits in the bottom. Proposing to use v hot water with Fairy, followed by several days airing dry, then sloshing some fuel around before re-fitting sender and filter fittings, using new seals and some sort of sealing compound - suggestions for fuel tolerant compound to coat sealing washers?

thanks

David, Blue Ubiversal Hylomar would be a good sealant, dont be tempted to use ordinary silicon sealant as it could get in the fuel line.

I would only use fuel to wash it out too, you can filter it afterwards with some cheap paper filters and a funnel, container etc.

Agreed. I wouldn't be swilling washing up liquid anywhere near my fuel system.

unfortunately neither touch the deposit, which appears to be a residue of rust and dissolved rubber

We are looking into / seeking alloy compat tank flush fluids - it will need to be a solvent of sorts
