Installation Kit Manual

1. Point wheels straight ahead and disconnect battery or pull
horn fuse before starting removal of the old wheel so horn
won’t short out and blow during installation.
2. Remove horn mechanism. This is normally done by one
or more of the following steps:
a) Press down on horn cap or ring and turn.
b) Remove emblem cap from its snapped-in condition by
grasping it and pulling toward you, or pry loose.
c) Horn Ring and emblem may be secured by screws
which are concealed in rear side of wheel spokes.
If one of the above operations has not removed all of the
horn parts, it will have exposed the remaining screws to
permit easy removal of the balance of such parts.
3. Remove nut which holds wheel to shaft.
4. Mark shaft as to which is the top of the wheel.
5. With conventional puller (or GRANT puller 5891), use the
two tapped holes which you will find in the hub of old
wheel to pull off the steering shaft.
If a puller is not available, you may improvise an efficient
one to do the job. By drilling two holes of the proper size in
a short steel bar and using two screws of the proper
length you can tighten them and pull the old wheel very
easily.
6. If there is a turn signal cancellation device, such as
illustrated in diagram, attached to the back of your old
steering wheel, remove this part and reinstall it in the
same position on the back side of custom hub.
7. If your old steering wheel has a pin inserted in the back
side, note its location. You will find a roll pin furnished in
your kit. Insert this pin in the back side of custom hub
using pin location of old wheel as a guide.

8. Position custom hub on splined shaft, observing that “top”
is located in accordance with the mark which you made in
Step No. 4.
9. Insert brush assembly in recessed hole in hub.
10. Position post cover and wheel on hub using the three
shoulder bolts provided, but do not tighten at this time.
11. Check to see if wheel is in the proper position and, if
correct, install the wheel retainer nut and tighten.
12. Remove shoulder bolts and reinstall same through
retainer contactor ring so that the fiber side is toward
you. Tighten shoulder bolts, connect wire lead to retainer.
13. Position spring on nut (you may find tape a help). Place
horn cap in position by aligning dimples in cap with reliefs
in fiber material and push until dimples pass the fiber.
Turn cap left or right until tight (1/4”-1/2”).
14. Reconnect battery or replace horn fuse and enjoy
your new wheel.
GENERAL NOTES
a) It is generally wise to apply grease to the horn contact
surface on which the brush assembly rides. This will
reduce wear on the parts and does not interfere with the
electrical circuit.
b) When tightening the three shoulder bolts, please keep in
mind that excessive torque will result in damage to the
hub. The wheel retainer nut, if properly tightened, will
firmly hold hub/wheel assembly to steering shaft.
