MG Car Repair: removal of 1979 midget steeringwheel, plastic button, steering wheel


Question
my 1979 midget has a black rubberized steering wheel with no discernable way to get to the retaining nut. help

Answer
Hi John,
You should have a 4 spoke steering wheel with a small plastic button in the center. You need to pry out the plastic button to gain access to the nut holding the wheel on. Once you remove the nut you should be able to wiggle and pull the wheel off. Be sure to align the steering wheel straight before you pull it off as there is no index to put in on straight. Don't move the car when the wheel is off so you can align the wheel straight when putting it back on.
