Tools Rule

After procrastinating for way too long, I have finally moved my CRX to the front burner. It’s going to be my new track car, and the first order of business was to replace the world’s worst aftermarket steering wheel with a Momo that I scored online. It was tonight’s afterwork project.

Obviously I wasn’t the only one who detested this wheel, as the hub bore evidence that an earlier removal had been attempted. The scars told the story of a battle lost. Fortunately I had an ally: the correct tool for the job. I am still amazed how people will bent, pry and slam when, in my case, a simple steering wheel puller did the job in no time flat. While I don’t own one, I was able to borrow it from our local AutoZone. Today’s lesson: The correct tool can often be the difference between an evening filled with frustration and a job well done.
