Re: power mirror switch removal

I was able to remove it. But exactly how I can no longer remember. I have a feeling you need to pop out the toggle switch first. (it should come out if you pry it upward) then unscrew the ring.

Re: Steering Wheel FROM HELL!!!!

OK. This is getting to be a bit to much for me. I cant get this steering wheel off. I pulled the whole colulm out and had it on my vice and i was banging on the shaft with a small sledge hammer and a hard piece of wood. I also tried a 3/8" socket extension. I tried to get it off with a puller.....

Re: Steering Column

Kevin,

How did you solder them if they're the crimp on type?
Did you remove the plastic sleeve, and solder them without crimping?

Re: Steering Column

kevin,

It seems mine is the same too. the wires go staight to the fuse box. Silly that they would make it without a connector. Did you cut and then put in some spade connectors?

Does anyone have a spare steering wheel they're willing to part with?
mine is in rought shape.

Re: power window motor and regulator gtv-6 vs milano

The reason why i originally asked was because there was one for sale on ebay. But that was a long time ago. It would be good to know for a spare.

Re: rev counter and spedo bent needles

Busso,
thanks for the response.
I haven't fixed the problem as of yet. sometimes the rev counter gets stuck. I wonder if the needle from another car would work? I'll give your method a shot.
