[quote=Black Adder] Chris, I've also checked the quick connect hub. It's Traven. I have found that you have to be exactly lined up with the centering tab. Otherwise, it will wedge the splines wrong and be a bear to get back off. With the steering ratio so very different front a normal passenger car, I often will look at the front wheels and think I'm close to the center but the steering shaft is further to one side than I expect.
I imagine that keeping those splines cleaned of dust/dirt and lubed frequently will aid in longevity.
Thanks, it was a bit difficult to tell in the photo and I was hoping they had gone back to Lifeline. The Traven does have a potential problem if you're not very careful to line it up and lock it correctly. The best advice is to leave the locking screw in place and not remove the steering wheel.
