Howard,please no apologies necessay,,it was a great learning experience and my buddy,wife and I had a good laugh afterwards.

Hi All,well got the new (old) ivory steering wheel in place and a thank you to HH56, Owen, Randerson for their imput. Everything went well except for the wheel puller which Auto Zone gave me as a free loaner.It was the wrong type of puller,my wonderful wife suggested to me and my neighbor who was helping to use rubber mallets and gently tap on the sides of the wheel and "Bam,Sam" it came off.The new wheel went on without any problems.

For further reference for anyone changing their steering wheel the horn button wire is connected way underneath to the horn wire. The button wire comes out of the steering shaft and then connects underneath. Without knowing this I cut the wire by the steering wheel and then afterwards spliced them together,however by pulling on the horn button wire I pulled it from the connection and then could nor find the wire itself as it became lodged in the steering shaft. I hope I explained that correctly,as that was the only problem I encountered. Thanks for the great info.Now if I could only figure out how to send photos I would.

Thanks again HH56 and Randerson for the pics and the info of Auto Zone and Advanced auto I will try them.

thanks Owen,crap I thought I could just loosen the screws and remove,,oh well Thank You HH56 and Owen off to find a wheel puller.

thanks hh56, so I will need some sort of wheel puller? to take the wheel off is that correct??

Ran across a newer steering wheel for my 400 and was wondering how to change it out. I did a search but could not come up with what I was looking for. I thought I read somewhere on this forum that you 1) turn the horn button to the left to remove the button under neath there are 2 screws that need to be removed and also the wire for the horn. 2) remove old steering wheel and replace with new one and reassemble. Is this correct or is there something else I need to know or look for?? Thanks in advance! the new (old ) wheel has been repainted in the ivory color along with a shift knob. pics to follow.

Happy New Year to everyone from Arizona,,colder then a well diggers a#$% right now but what the hay it is New Years!! God Bless and hope everyone has a healthy and wealthy New Year!!

Merry Christmas and happy New Year everyone!! Thank you all again for all the great info and for settling my nerves when I found out I had the wrong engine(288 instead of 327) Ted

yes,thats correct,,sounds strange but that is what is happening,,

when I shift from Park or neutral to High it seems to be running in low gear,,,if I stop and shift back to neutral then to high it seems to drive ok,,,hope that makes sense.
