Get a can of BLASTER PB and spray it on the connection. Leave it overnight. The steering wheel will come off but you need to be patient and when doing so pull really hard in various spots of steering wheel. It’s a pain in the hole to do it but it will come off. It took me the bones of an hour.
Don’t cut the steering wheel.....
Sadly, it has had several doses of PB Blaster over quite a few days, no dice.
The local garage have failed to get the steering wheel off :(
They're going to cut it off if I can get another one from a breaker.
Sorry, it's not RR related but hey. Fun and games!
A pony? Have you seen the emissions on those things? EARTH MURDERER!!!!!!
:D
I'm sure petrol will still be available in 8 years time, but availability will fall pretty sharply once production switches to electric vehicles because the motor trade will want everyone to buy new cars.
Although LPG forecourts are becoming a little tricky to find since BP stopped stocking LPG, it'll still be available to those with a bit of ingenuity because it is used for things like domestic heating and cooking. Running off an orange cylinder might not be legal or convenient but I'm sure it'd be possible to rig up some form of refueling system in extremis.
Then we need Simon to crack the issue of starting a cold multipoint system on LPG!
Yeah, I've no idea what steel it is. It just came out of the "Coach bolt" selection at the local hardwarw place.
Keeping the puller straight is the real issue. Once I start getting decent tension on it, the puller just flops over.
There's not enough space for washers behind the wheel so I think my next plan is either to find a puller with bigger slots or to drill the holes to the size of the biggest bolts that fit the puller (m8, like the thread that pulled out) use nuts behind the wheel again and hope the tighter holes keep the puller straight so I can get even more tension on it.
edit: It's a 4.8 steel bolt, so about half the strength of 8.8 Ah well, I doubt even a really strong bolt would have helped when pulling sideways :(
I know M12 sounds a little excessive but here's what happened to the M6 bolts when I tried them:
Thanks!
but kinda irrelevant at the moment as the M12 bolts won't fit in the puller :(
ARSEcakes.
Time for plan D
So do these taps need me to back up every half turn? Or will they shoot the crap out of the far end of the hole?
I've stuck the files I'm using up here:

Worth a punt!
I appreciate the info, Clive.
This is my tap/die set. Cheap as you guessed! https://www.screwfix.com/p/tap-die-set-20-pieces/7105v?_requestid=612229
but well reviewed.. I'll try and find something to practice on, not sure what at the moment!
I'll definitely get some M12 nuts to stiffen it all up. I'll probably have a go tomorrow night, Monday night is gym night so it was dark when I got back.
Cheers!
It sure is :(
And someone gorilla'd the centre nut on so tight I had to use a breaker bar to get it off again :(
Thanks Richard, hopefully I'll get this sorted now!
It's about 10mm of aluminium. I need to put new threads into my Jeep's steering wheel because the puller just ripped the thread out on the previous attempt. I'm drilling it about 4mm bigger than last time and I'll see if I can fit some nuts behind the plate to add some more strength.
Folks,
I need to drill and tap a new hole. I've now got a suitable tap - M12x1.75 and an HSS drill bit of 10mm. According to all the online charts I can find, I should be using a 10.2mm drill bit. Will the 0.2mm difference mean certain failure and death?
Or should I just crack on with the 10mm?
As you can tell, this is the first time I've ever tapped a thread :)
Thanks!
<quote? I have now posted up – several times – various links (and the GDPR text itself) stating how their Personal Data definitions clearly include both LOCATIONAL and ADDRESS information;</quote>
You're looking at it backwards. To qualify as personal data, whatever data you're processing has to relate to an identifiable individual living Human. Once the Human has been identified THEN the location, address, inside leg measurement etc becomes personal data.
Locational Data of a Hot Spot, a Range Rover, a House or a Whale is irrelevant to GDPR. None of those things are humans and therefore their Locational Data is not personal data.
LPGC's first example clearly did not include the identity of any individual therefore: Not Personal Data.
My opinion on what is PD is based on training given to me by solicitors and barristers who specialise in Data Protection law.
Also, online threats just make you look a bit foolish.
But you still haven't answered your homework :)
HINT: GDPR applies equally to BT FON and Google Maps. The fact that one service is free is irrelevant when considering Data Protection

One of the advantages of having revealled BT's WiFi disadvantages is (enraged) folks sending me numerous other examples, like Virgin proudly stating how in their " Free Hotel WiFi service " they 'Data Harvest' us too (albeit with our permission/consent); Moral ? Don't consent.....
" Customer analytics
Users register before they can access your WiFi – it’s a potential gold mine of data for your marketing.
Get their consent and you’ll get their dwell time, location analytics and user demographics too "
Now this is the sort of shit that GDPR was designed to counter. Yes, the correct answer is to withhold consent.
GDPR brought in some very powerful tools for the consumer. You are allowed to withdraw your consent at any point*. You are allowed to demand that your data be deleted. Most importantly, it's no longer legal to make consent to marketing analytics a requirement for provision of a service (don't quote that, I'd need to check the exact wording) which is why you get these massive cookie consent lists with different levels of consent for different types of cookie.
The cookies that make the site run can be compulsory (under Legitimate Interest) but those that track your purchasing preferences and/or are used for big data analytics and ad preferences have to be optional. If you read the Fair Processing Notice of those sites they HAVE to explain what each level of data is being used for. This is all GDPR and it has real teeth.
I'd be interested to know how Virgin are getting hold of User Demographics. IME that's either a rough guess based on device type (are you using a brand new iPhone or el-cheapo Android tablet) or it's a really deep dive into tracking cookies and/or social media. Smelly.
*which is a real pain in the arse for the processor who has to create a mechanism that allows the removal of the data subject from whatever systems they originally consented to be part of.
Dave, sorry but you can't keep misleading people like this.
In LPGC's examples.
- No contravention of GDPR. GDPR is relevant only when personal data is processed. No personal data is processed in this case because an address on its own is not personal data.
Not necessarily a contravention of GDPR. A Ferrari dealer could very easily process the personal data of its customers in a lawful manner, as long as they abide by the terms of GDPR. A lawful basis could be "legal obligation". Should there be a recall on a model of Ferrari the dealership would need the contact details of their customers to inform them of that recall. No consent would be required for this lawful processing.
If the dealership were to publish or share the list they'd be in breach. If they were to use the list for direct marketing they'd very likely be in breach (depending on their Fair Processing Notice) and also of PECR, just for fun.
To address an earlier post
<quote> Please do read the information in the links I provided as LOCATION is part of the Personal Data definition of course: It is not just about the name of a person: It is getting a little irritating having to repeat these things as patently folks are not actually reading the links, just repeating their (possibly misguided) interpretations of the GDPR </quote><br>
This is a clear misunderstanding of the law. The location being provided is that of a Hot Spot and not an individual identifiable person. I can see no way in which the location of a hotspot identifies an individual and therefore this information is not Personal Data. GDPR is only relevant when personal data is being processed.
Dave, BT Fon Maps show the locations of one specific service - BT Hotspots. If you think that is a breach of GDPR, what do you think of Google Maps?
They show the location of nearly all addresses in the world, the location of many services (restaurants, shops, schools, hospitals etc) and they even let the public add photographs and reviews of these locations and services.
Surely this is an even more outrageous breach of GDPR?
Your starter for ten: "How are Google not in breach of GDPR due to their provision of the Google Maps service?"
I've got enough hassle with the vehicles I've got. If they were fine I'd be tempted myself - but I never seem to get to the point where I've got everything working, especially when it's dark in the evenings and I'm call two weekends a month.
Right now I need to change U Joints on the The Duchess and investigate why she drops her backside down overnight. Then there's there's the radius arm bushes because she still steers like a whale.
The Jeep needs a new clock spring, which would have been super simple if I could only get the damn steering wheel off. I've just bought a tap and die set so I can re-thread the holes in the wheel to an M9 to give me something better to grip with the puller. The original M7 thread pulled straight out on one side and drilling through so I could use nuts behind the wheel just left the tool flopping sideways under tension because the nuts weren't stable enough for me to use a bar.
Type 2 fun! :)
Tonight I'll have a romantic Valentine's day trying to get the wheel out of my Jeep and then hopefully the rough running/voltage issues it displayed at the weekend will just be a one-off. Otherwise I'll be hunting bad ground connections for a couple of weeks :(
I've been threatening to cycle to work (it's 7 miles) and now the weather seems to be improving I'm tempted!
A blue 01 on coils with dodgy HG, broken radio and satnav and no mileage listed.
Still, looks quite nice in the photos!
I just put this up because it's about 5 minutes from me if anyone wants me to go have a look.
I've got a copy of OB's disk - but very soon after I started using it my satnav lost the ability to remember where it is. I'm not sure if it's the disk or the antenna - I suspect the almanac data isn't right but maybe it's just me.
I should be able to dig out the iso if you like.
