Steering wheel resto
 
Was just curious if anyone has done one. Mine is in good shape but could use a bit of refreshing. Also I have seen what those center caps can look like - any product out there to remove the yellowing?

you can use buffing compound on the caps, but it will not take all of it out, ususally, that yellowing is uv damage to the plastic, (think automotive headlights, you can buff them back to greatly improve them, but they will always maintain a bit of a haze) also to really do the best you can, you would need to do the inside of the cap as well, maybe with a dremel?

I was thinking of getting one. Has anyone bought one? If so, how is the quality?

Caps look good but unfortunately that cap design is different than the one needed for a 126

Remove the Steering wheel
 
My grandson and I are working on our 125. We are needing to remove the steering wheel. Would anyone have a suggestion how to remove it?

Mine wouldn't budge after days of penetrating oil I put the nut back on and left about half of it sticking above the end of the steering column put a smaller nut inside of it and took my air chisel with a punch in it. Placed it on the top of the steering column where I had the smaller nut placed inside the nut and let it hammer while pulling up on the steering wheel, popped tight off.
