Jeez Rick,
If I caught my wheel aligning bloke pulling the steering wheel off to centre
it after an alignment with a recirc ball steering box that would be the last
time he'd do it and he wouldn't get paid either. Very shoddy practice that
one as it means the side rods must be unequal lengths - very dangerous that
and makes the steering response into l&r hand corners very different.

James.
Just a quicky iff you still havn't got it off go down to the nearest tyre
seller and see wether they can do it for you as they pull stearing wheels
off everyday as per setting them straight again after wheel alignments.
