REMOVING ORIGINAL WHEEL

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 done 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 the wire or metal contact plunger from the horn
contact housing by pulling on the metal plunger or, on
most models, by twisting left and pulling up on plastic
sleeve.

4. Remove the safety clip (if so equipped) over shaft nut.
Retain for later use. And remove shaft nut holding wheel
to vehicle.

5. Mark shaft to denote the top of the wheel. (Most shafts
have a score mark denoting top).

6. With conventional puller, (or GRANT 5891), use the two
tapped holes which you will find in the hub o f 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 an d pull the old wheel very
easily.

7. After origin al wheel and associated hardware have been
removed, slide the small tubular metal sle eve provided in
GRANT kit down over the steering shaft.

8. Insert the wire lead into the new black plastic sleeve,
make sure the small tab on the outside of the sleeve is
pointed toward the bell shaped end of the wire, notice the
bell shaped end will not pass through the sleeve. (The

bell shaped end is inverted from th e factory one, but
this is by design). Insert the spring into the plastic tube

first followed by the wire lead/plastic sleeve assembly and
lock into place.

Preparing wheel for installation

– Remove the five (5) Allen

screws securing wheel to GT adapter, which will not be
used. Transfer wheel, horn button, retainer ring, trim
ring…etc to billet adapter noting that the arrow stamped
on billet collar is in the 12 o’clock position. Reinstall
screws securely, but leave horn button out at this time.

10. Position the wheel/adapter assembly onto splined shaft
routing horn wire through hole provided and observing that
wheel is aligned in accordance with the mark you made in
step 5.

11. Check wheel for proper positioning and, if correct, install
the shaft nut and tighten securely to 25-30 ft/lbs. Install the
safety clip (from step 4) over shaft nut. Should clip not
quite fit into groove in shaft, tighten nut further until it will.

12. Connect the wire lead to the center terminal on back of
horn button. (If your wheel came with a grounding lead,
put eyelet under one of the three bolts below wheel an d
reinstall bolt tightening to 10-12 ft/lbs, connect this wire to
outer lead on back of horn button). Install button into
center of wheel. Reconnect battery or replace horn fuse
and enjoy your ne w GRANT wheel.
