Hey Guys,


Finally! I got the job done.
Here is what I encountered and I hope it will make it easier for the next person who wishes to replace the OEM steering wheel. For the life of me I can’t understand why Morgan would choose this ugly steering wheel. Air bags I’m guessing.
Anyhow here is my experience and I hope it helps others.
Day one I spent trying to make a 5mm socket shaped like a D. First I tried the dremmel tool. After exhausting all of my grinder bits I made a trip to Home Depot and bought a small file set $12 and spent a couple of hours filing. Eventually I got a nice D shaped socket. But no mater how much I filled, it wouldn’t turn the deactivation screw. As a last resort I took a pair of needle nose pliers and grabbed the D shaped end of the deactivation screw and 5 minutes later it was all the way unscrewed!
Next slide the cover off of the nut on the back side. Since I wasn’t planning on ever using the steering wheel again, I jammed the slide cover out of the way.
I couldn’t find any wrench I had that would connect. Even a quarter inch socket wrench. Next, I went to harbor freight and bought a set of offset metric wrenches $18. With a 13mm. I was able to get the bolt loose.
I then removed the last 2 nuts from the back of the wheel exposing the nut that held the wheel on the shaft. The steering wheel came loose and I pulled it off.
The new steering wheel went on without incident. The horn even works!
