Removing Steering Wheel

After several unsuccessful attempts to remove the steering wheel we checked the forums. Thanks to all who share their wisdom and experience. I found a thread on G503.com Military Vehicle Message Forums - Dave from Californian had the perfect solution. It worked like a charm!

Phase II Restore

With the easy part behind us it' was time to start restoring or replacing parts. This took the longest time because each piece had to be cleaned, inspected, refurbished or replaced. It was fun to learn about each component and gratifying to see each part repaired and ready to install.
