How to get a stubborn steering wheel off a VW bus column. Tango, a 72 Bay.....in Orange of course!
The last video showing the completed build is now posted - check out ' VW custom bus finally hits the roads, 5 yrs on! This bus rocks!' video to see and hear the final result! It even gives you a glimpse of the specially made steering wheel :)

  • Glad u liked vid - Had a good laugh making it :)

    Seats are leather and from a Rover; I hasten to add it's my mates bus not mine. They are dead comfy apparently but I'm not sure I believe him? I'm puttin a pair of ratty Porsche Carrera 'high backs' in my bus. The Rover seats do look pretty cool though......I can't believe I'm admitting to this?

    Cheers,

    Mubbsi :)

  • most of us dub owneres try and keep water from anywhere near theinside lol - Last night in hoilland it was pissing down with rain and my overhead ventilation in the splitty poured a stream of water down my leg , i only had a 10 k drive so i just got it home there really was a river in the footwell, anywaqy thanks for the acdvice , i managed to lose the keys to the bus in italy so i had to replace ignition barrel but couldn't remove sterring wheel so i could complete the assembly, now i can

  • Yo Treg,

    As with all VeeDubs; air cooled is ALWAYS better than water! Surprised you had a footwell pool, how come you've no rust holes? You must have a restored bus man!

    Cool!!

  • Yeah, I have a '72 standard that I'm trying like hell to get the steering wheel out of. Couldn't do it, so my friend Dave is gonna help me. :) Nice Bus!

  • Not easy to get off man, I tried standard bearing pullers but these locked up under pressure! My hydraulic set worked fine but only after 2200psi force being applied!! Remember to use goggles - just in case.

    Good luck Turbo :)

  • Not brute force Dude, I like to think of it as more a kind of tactical assault executed with military like precision. Bottom line here is it had to come off; Brit ingenuity vanquishing German assembly - pity they never used any grease on the splines :(
