[alfa] re: Pulling Milano Steering Wheel

[Joe Elliott <jee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are the supplied bolts long enough?  If not, get longer grade 8 bolts 
from a hardware store.  Find the two 6mm holes (presumably behind 
gray things).  Drill out the holes in the wheel to accept 
considerably larger bolts than the stock 6mm holes accomodate.  If 
you want to be fancy, you can tap threads in your new holes, but 
that's really not necessary with a Milano because you can reach 
behind the wheel and put nuts on the bolts, which work a lot better 
than trusting threaded holes in the wheel anyway.  Put the big nut on 
halfway before you actually pull the wheel because you don't want to 
the wheel to fly off and hit you in the face.
