Got her Off

[bubblerboy64]

I managed to get the steering wheel off. Jims suggestions plus maybe
some help from the penitrating oil. Now, can you tell me what I need
to know to order a replacement? This wheel is about 21 inches in
diameter and I'd like to drop back an inch or two other then that I
have no real strong preference but I'll need to know the specifics
which respect internal dementions etc. Again the help is greatly
appreciated.

you have to measure the diameter and number of splines on the shaft
before you call
IF it is the same as the later model coaches the center is a BB1
you just pick out the steering wheel you want and they will add the
center

Stephen, Thanks for the info. The diameter appears to be 7/8 inch
as close as I can measure with a ruler and there are 36 teeth on the
spline gear. That sound like a BB1?

Yup, Stephen's right on the money for this commonly asked question.
The information on VIP Wheels is also in the Parts Database and in the
Parts Links. Just FYI.

Ask for a factory 2nd. I have yet to find the blemish on mine that
caused it to be a 2nd.

Fine steering wheels.
