[QUOTE="thill, post: 507944, member: 4972"] That is part of the steering wheel. It's a splined hub. You can remove it with a gear puller, if you have one. If not, screw the nut back on and make it flush with the end of the shaft, to prevent damaging the threads. Then pry up under the hub with a pry bar and smack the shaft sharply with a brass hammer to make the hub pop off. Try to hit it perfectly square. Don't be shy, smack it harder and harder until it loosens. Then unscrew the nut and take the hub off and proceed to remove the helm. If you have a different steering wheel, you can just cut off the black cover, unbolt the helm and throw it all away. I actually like wheels with that type of hub, because it's easy to center your steering wheel straight with the motor. [/QUOTE]
