steering wheel

Trying to get it off so I can get the plastic wheel back on, which needs glueing and hose clamp. I don't believe it is threaded but would like to be sure. Any one out there with advice?

My steering wheel just recently broke off also. The steering wheel hub was molded around an irregular shaped zinc piece. The zinc piece fit onto the tapered steering shaft and was pinned in place. There was no replacing the steering wheel. Standard tapered steering wheels with an attachment nut would not fit.I ended up replacing the entire cable and pulley steering system with a mechanical system. I would reconsider the idea of gluing and clamping such a critical item as the steering wheel! Edited by Joe Kriz on 09/01/18 - 12:42 PM

My shaft is not tapered, I have attached a photo this time. Thanks Edit - Photo added Bushwalker attached the following image: [37.25Kb] Edited by Phil T on 09/03/18 - 8:01 PM
