Author	Topic:   Removing steering wheel on 2004 Montauk
TTWhaler	posted 04-23-2008 01:39 PM ET (US)         How do you remove the steering wheel on the 2004 Montauk? I've removed the plastic whaler cap, then nut and washer. What's next to remove the wheel?

Not sure if you have looked there already or if they will efven help you out but they are there for you to take a peek. The console assy was the one that I found to show the destoryer wheel parts and assy.

Lightly whack the helm shaft (the thing you took the nut off of). Within 3-4 whacks, the wheel will pop right off.
