Grant 4288 User Manual

1. Point wheels straight ahead and disconnect battery or pull
horn fuse before starting removal of the old wheel so horn
won’t short out and blow during installation.

2. Remove horn mechanism. This is normally do ne by one or
more of the following steps:

a) Press down on horn cap or ring and turn.
b) Remove emblem cap from its snapped-in condition by

grasping it and pulling toward you, or pry loose.

c) Horn Ring and emblem may be secured by screws which

are concealed in rear side of wheel spokes.

If one of the above operations has not removed all of the
horn parts, it will have exposed the remaining screws to
permit easy removal of the balance of such parts.

3. Remove nut which holds wheel to shaft.

4. Mark shaft as to which is the top of the wheel.

5. With conventional puller (or GRANT puller 5891), use the

two tapped holes which you will find in the hub of old wheel
to pull off the steering shaft.

If a puller is not available, you may improvise an efficient one
to do the job. By drilling two holes of the proper size in a
short steel bar and using two screws of the proper length
you can tighten them and pull the old wheel very easily.

6. If your old wheel has a turn indicator cam, remove this part

and reinstall in the same position on back of custom hub.
Generally this part is affixed to the steering wheel with
screws or clamped on by spring tension. NOTE: Some

cams are molded into the w heel and are not removable,
use roll pin(s) provided in kit fo r these applications. See
enclosed roll pin instructions.

SHOWN: TYPICAL CLASSIC/CHALLENGER INSTALLATION

Apply grease from enclosed capsules to cover the copper
contact surface on custom hub. This will reduce wear on the
parts and does not interfere with the electrical circuit.

7. When using kit number 3249, install tubular metal sleeve
over shaft. NOTE: Sleeve should fit freely and slide down
until it bottoms. On some models the plastic turn signal
mechanism may prevent it from bottoming or fit snugly
against its sides. If either condition exists, do not use
sleev e, it is not required.

(A) Note Ford special instruction notice on reverse

side of this form regarding stub on end of shaft.

8. Position hub on splined shaft observing that ”top” is
located in accordance with the mark you made in Step 4.

9. Position post cover and wheel using the three shoulder
bolts prov ide d i n kit, but do no t tighten them at this time.

NOTE:

When using kit 3294 on older Fords. If there is a gap
between the post cover and the column, there is an easy
adjustment that must be mad e. Loos en the bolts u nder the
dash holding the column in position, move the column
hous ing up or down as needed leaving about a 1/8” gap
and then retig hten these bolts securely.

10. Check wheel for position and, if correct, install the wheel
retainer nut and tighten securely.

11. Remove shoulder bolts. See reverse side for pictorial
repres entation of the remaining assembly procedures.

When tighte ning the three shoulder bolts, please keep in
mind that excessive torque will result in damage to the
hub as well as possibly cause the contact p late to fracture
or distort. The wheel retainer nut, if properl y tightened, will
firmly hold the hub/wheel assembly to the shaft.
