Got a new steering wheel!.....but

When I replaced my stock tape player with my CD player I wanted a new steering wheel. I have been wanting one bad ever since. Well I finally got one,
The only thing is that I have to wait until christmas to "get" it. I have it sitting under the tree taunting me. I am going to go crazy.

I dont know about that. I have been wanting one for so long it is making me sick. I tried talking my wife into letting me have it now but she said that I always get my gifts early so this year she is gonna make me wait

I got a new grill for mine for Christmas. Wife ordered it for me, without me knowing it. Just her luck though, my good friend works in the parts dept. He called me and told me she stopped in, and told me what she had ordered. *** I love Christmas surprises. Can't wait to open it.

Yes waiting is the worst part. Thats one of the reasons I try not to order stuff from the net or in the mail. If I do I pay extra for quicker delivery.

I usually dont mind waiting for something, but if it is for my car....I cant take it. I want that car to be the pimpest ride in town and it is taking forever, so when I have to wait even more I want to punch something.

I have a gamecube, and I am getting prime. I also have a ps2 and the only thing that I like better about the ps2 is GTA3 vice city. She said that there is no way that I can have it early, unless I want to buy her a $3k diamond ring. I think I will wait.

Yeah, I've always loved to play Super Metroid for SNES, have an SNES emulator on my PC too....Heard the Gamecube sucks though, I guess I'll need to try it for myself...

OK, so I get the steering wheel out and I am going to install it....but, I dont have a steering wheel remover. Is there another way to get it off, or do I need to run down to auto zone tomorrow and borrow one?
Thanks,
Brian

LOL, unless you want a sore' nose, the only way is the puller. I learned the hard way to GET PULLER FIRST!!. hehe, i was in my 79 TA, beating on the back of the wheel with my forearms and it broke loose and popped me in the nose. live and learn i guess good luck with your install
