Steering wheel hub adaptor

[somthingwierd]

Hey guys. What's the size and tooth count, or what hub adapter did you use for 6 bolt steering wheels? I've found that gm typically uses 1/2" 36 tooth splines for their wheels.

What are you trying to do, just remove the steering wheel?

I'm trying to replace it. The OEM one is pretty worn and leaves sticky residue on my hands when driving.

Trying wiping it down with a heavy duty degreaser like Simple Green, you might be amazed.

The simple way to remove the steering wheel:

Remove the airbag, horn and airbag wiring, and steering wheel wiring (if you have it)
Use a 21mm socket to loosen the nut, but don't fully remove
Grab the steering wheel and shake it back and forth like a crazy person. It should pop free in 4-5 pulls. The nut you left on will keep the steering wheel from hitting you in the face and/or damaging the wires.
Once its loose, remove the nut the rest of the way and fish the wires out of the steering wheel.

Yep I got that, but what is the size and tooth count of the column? I have a GM adapter but i'm not sure if its the right size. The one I got is 3/4" 36 tooth for GM, Buick, Pontiac, Chevy.

36 tooth is correct, but I measured the shaft closer to 5/8".

Thanks. Is there a link somewhere that I can find one at? i'm having trouble locating one.
