First real problem. Wanted to take the steering wheel off to straighten it and work on the steering tube cover. The threads on the shaft and nut are all buggered up as it was just laying inside the cover. I guess the previous owner figured as long as the nut was close to the steering shaft it would work. Steering wheel has not budged so I guess it was not really needed. Knowing better I need to fix it but how? Can I disconnect it from the bottom and just pulle the entire assembly out to take it to a machine shop?
